Sunday was Run day for our fundraising champions like Nathan. And boy did they do a great job! 🏃 We loved spotting SF vests amongst the thousands of runners all taking part in one of our favourite events of the year. The sun shone brightly (yes, it was cold ❄️, but we're focusing on the positives) and the crowd brought the energy 💯 18 individuals laced up their trainers and tackled the Sheffield hills to raise money for local young people. Help them reach their final targets? 🏃♀️ https://lnkd.in/e_3xxg6y #Fundraising #Sheffield10k #RunForAll

As an independent charity, we rely on the generosity of individuals and companies like Killingley to provide essential support for young people in Sheffield. £10,000 makes a huge difference. This amount of donation can help by: ➡ supporting an extra 25 young people dealing with trauma through 1:1 counselling ➡ funding special activites and group outings for young people experiencing loneliness and social anxiety ➡ covering transport costs for NEET young people to access job interviews and training 💙 Sheffield Futures exists to provide a safe, supportive environment for young people living in Sheffield by providing them with the tools and opportunities they need to live healthy, happy lives. Can you help us achieve our mission? https://lnkd.in/e_93xnhg #CharitableGiving #SupportingYoungPeople

🍔 Care Experienced Summer BBQ 🔥 Project coaches Gemma and Chelsea had a blast at yesterday's Summer BBQ, hosted by the wonderful Sheffield Leaving Care Service 😍 Amidst the games, food, and raffles, this was a great way to catch up with young people who've been supported by our Ambition project 👷♀️ 📝 Whether it's training, employment, or education, our Ambition project helps young people find the path that's right for them. From interview preparation to CV writing workshops, our project coaches provide the support and skills that young people need to progress on their journey. A lovely bonus to the day was having two care experienced young people join us later on for our Youth Run Club! Though by their own admission, the burgers weren't great pre-run fuel... #CareExperience #CareLeavers #CommunityEvents

🌸 Creativity shared amongst colleagues 🌸 SF Mental Health Hub delivered a fantastic taster session to colleagues over lunch today, showcasing the resources and activities they've developed for group delivery out in community venues and schools. Over three sessions, the MHH team work with groups of young people to: 🙆♀️ Increase awareness and psychoeducation around mental health 🧘♂️ Provide coping strategies for managing mental wellbeing  👬 Empower young people to access community support Sessions are tailored to meet each group's needs, recognising that one size doesn't fit all. By piloting the sessions with Grow, we've been able to test and tweak the activities, taking on board feedback from young people and other professionals. Interested in collaborating with the MHH?

If you want to find out about young people's experiences of mental health, you need to ask them. That's what BBC Look North did when they came to visit us recently. Hannah Gray sat down with a group of young people at Star House to ask them about their experiences of mental health waiting lists, and what sort of support they'd like to have available to them. With a new Government committing to increasing the number of mental health workers across the country, we hope to see services like Door43 and the Mental Health Hub sustainably funded so that we can continue providing early-intervention support to those who need it. Broadcast on 14th August at 1.30pm and 6.30pm. Available to watch on iPlayer for the next 24 hours: https://lnkd.in/ecMuGCGx #YouthVoice #MentalHealth #Media #BBC
