Making a real difference in Sheffield has never been easier! Hallam Challenges is a project that plans one-day events where both students and staff can get involved to help out in the local community.
One of the latest successes for Hallam Challenges was the Christmas Decorations Creation Day which was held on Level 2 of the Owen Building, City Campus.
Over 50 students dropped by to lend a hand and make a decoration for the elderly. Later the decorations were taken out to residential homes around Sheffield where even the residents helped make some more, whilst enjoying a few mince pies after decorating the rooms.
Project leader Ellie Lane was very pleased with the high level of enthusiasm and commitment from her team and is aiming to bring even more people together for a positive impact at their next event.
The next Hallam Challenge is going to be on Saturday 28th March, 11am till 1pm at Creswick Children's Centre. The team need volunteers to come and help plant primroses as the centre are having a total refurbishment and changing their name to Primrose Children's Centre. If you would like to come and help please email hallamchallenges@hotmail.co.uk and let us know you are coming!
If you'd like to know more on Hallam Challenges or for information on how to get involved, drop by the Hubs and speak to Emily Burns onE.burns@shu.ac.uk. Also Ellie would like to give a shout out and personal thank you to Emily, who has been her rock!
