Reach South Sheffield
We are a registered charity which is working towards the social, economic and environmental regeneration of South Sheffield.
People living in our communities face significant barriers to gaining qualifications and training, securing employment and living a lifestyle that supports physical and mental wellbeing. We work closely with people to overcome these inequalities, providing support to find and apply for work, gain new skills and improve their lifestyle and health. The specific project we are seeking help with is our Food Growers project which gets local people working outdoors to grow their own food produce, and the Makers project which enables local people with joinery and woodworking skills to use these skills to make equipment for the growers project.6 GoodGymers have supported Reach South Sheffield with 1 task.

Painting at full Reach
Friday 8th March 2019
Written by Mike Jones
Six of us went over to Reach South Sheffield which is a great community organisation that helps disadvantaged people within the local area. They've recently been the victim of a couple of break-ins, where their poly-tunnels were vandalised and some plants dug up. Our task was to paint the top of their perimeter fence with anti-climb paint.
Roisha gave us the paint, brushes, gloves and ladders that ensured the job wasn't too out of REACH. While five of us got on with this job, Tom set about the important task of putting up signs advertising the paint. Hopefully this will help deter the miscreants!
The folks at Reach were very friendly and even offered us a cuppa. In the two hours we were there we managed to get round the whole boundary of the grounds which was very satisfying!
We look forward to coming back here in the future, perhaps to help repair their poly-tunnels. In the meantime hopefully the paint will put off anyone trying to disrupt the great work that these guys do.
