SACMHA’s Community Health Advisors are a part of the city-wide Sheffield Community Champion programme which is funded by the Sheffield City Council.
On Thursday 8th September, Sheffield Community Champions including SACMHA’s Community Health Champions gathered at the Sheffield Central Library in the Carpenter Room for a very special celebration. The celebration recognised the impact and achievements of Community Champions across the city of Sheffield during and post the U.K. COVID-19 lockdown.
In attendance was the Deputy Lord Mayor who presented our Community Champions with their Certificate of Recognition.
The Sheffield Community Champions Project will be moving over to be managed by Voluntary Action Sheffield for its third Phase 3. It is hoped that the Community Champions project will shortly be able to secure long-term funding.
On 10th July 2020, the Sheffield Community Kitchen opened for ‘business’ with the goal of providing a healthy, substantial meal to vulnerable members of the community, principally those who had been instructed to shield as a result of Covid-19. This however was not just any meal, but one with authentic Caribbean flavour. SCK is a partnership between SACMHA Health & Social Care and the Church of God of Prophecy (CoGoP) in Sheffield.
Staffing for SCK, was provided by volunteers from the local Caribbean community, whose chefs prepared and cooked the meals. They were then delivered across Sheffield by a team of volunteer drivers and by SACMHA Staff who provided coordination and administrative support.
David Bussue – Service Director at SACMHA Health & Social Care said, “This is just the kind of initiative SACMHA came into existence to support and shows our community at its best working in partnership to meet real need.” David continued, “Covid-19 has hit our community and the wider BAME communities hard – locally, regionally and nationally, so anything we can do to ease individual situations is more than worthwhile.”
The Church of God of Prophecy in Sheffield is one of the longest established Black-led churches in the City. Senior Pastor, Christine Madden said “Our local church is committed to serving the community whether those community members decide to worship here with us or not. CoGoP and SACMHA have a deep and long-lasting relationship so we were very keen to collaborate and make the Kitchen a reality. In fact, all the catering staff are members at this church.”
