GG Sheffield were back at Heeley People’s Park and showed just how much 36 people can achieve in a limited timeframe – we managed to cover the length of a path (twice!) and a rock climbing area with wood chip, with members shovelling wood chip or running with wheelbarrows and buckets – top mulching team!

We were joined by new members Jackie and Sarah – welcome to Good Gym!

And by Adam from H.O.M.E., a newly launched charity whose mission is to get every homeless person in Sheffield a safe place to sleep. You can follow the charity on Twitter: H.O.M.E.

A big shout out to James and Tim who both arrived on time to celebrate their 50th Good Deed – a great contribution to GG Sheffield chaps – and who both looked very chipper (apologies for that terrible pun) in their 50th bow ties.

Having completed our work at the Park, run leader Sam brought us back via the Park Hill amphitheatre where he entertained us (and bemused members of the public sitting there) by having us running and doing press-ups & burpees/ star jumps to the tune of The Police’s Roxanne. In an ideal world he would have had the exhausted group running back to the Showroom to the sound of Every Breath You Take but apparently Health & Safety Regulations prevent us from doing press-ups on the ring-road...

"Making Heeley a better place to be. We want Heeley to be a successful, vibrant and inclusive community; a good place to live, to work, to do business and to visit."

Heeley Development Trust (HDT) is a small, charitable development trust, founded by local volunteers, business people & residents in 1996. We have delivered youth, community, environmental and economic development projects in and around our neighbourhood for the last 20 years. We are working hard, developing a diverse range of income, social enterprises and assets, all with the aim of making Heeley a great place to live, with a real sense of place, pride and community. Our projects include; Heeley People's Park, Sum Studios (saving a Grade 2 listed Victorian School and redeveloping as managed work space – this is bringing jobs and investment into our community), The Heeley Voice - a local magazine and Recycle Bikes – a social enterprise supporting disengaged young people to gain training, confidence, work experience and jobs. If you are interested in any of our projects, would like to get involved or are willing to volunteer any of your time please do not hesitate to contact us or give us your feedback.
