The overwhelming majority of homeless and vulnerable people on our streets have had exposure to Adverse Childhood Experiences. The Archer Project provides homeless and vulnerable people the tools and support to rebuild their lives. The President recommended this local charity, which will collect donations as you enter the City Hall. If you would like any information about the links between ACEs and homelessness or the charity’s work to support recovery from homelessness, please get in touch with them directly, archerproject.org.uk.

Pete Mckee announces new gallery at Leah’s Yard 🎨

The beloved Sheffield artist is the first tenant announced for Sheffield’s Grade II Listed Heart of The City development.

Leah’s Yard, which is currently undergoing the final stages of its renovation, breathing life back into its patchwork of buildings, is gearing up for opening in summer 2024. Pete McKee will be moving his gallery from its current Sharrow Vale Road location to the city’s newest destination for independent retail and a showcase for the finest makers and creators.

Speaking above the move, Pete McKee said: "The development team has taken great pains to retain as much of the heritage of the building as possible and it looks stunning. I’m incredibly proud of the Sheffield heritage my family, and many others over the generations, have been a part of. So, to be able to place my gallery where once the Artisans of Sheffield produced their wares was an opportunity I couldn’t resist.

“I believe in Sheffield and its ability to adapt and thrive and the town centre is currently going through a metamorphosis. Soon, it will be free of the cocoon of scaffolding and building sites and will be able to open its wings once more. But it won’t shine like our famous steel if we don’t support it. That’s why I wanted to move to the city centre to help be a part of our beautiful city’s new beginning – where we forge our own future and don’t look to be a poor copy of our neighbours up the M1 and over the Snake."

Most of our followers are surgeons but we'd be very grateful if you would share this with your specialist nursing colleagues as they play such an important role supporting . This is for ward nurses rather than CNS teams.

Did we mention how excited and delighted we are to be in Sheffield for the ? Where Bruges is pretty, Sheffield is cool- just look at that tool!

Thanks to everyone who joined us last night at the dinner.
