B&Q Sheffield

We’re a community led service operating from our home, dedicated to supporting individuals and families in need. Most of the people we help come to us through word of mouth, and we also spend time out in the community delivering essentials to those experiencing homelessness. Our main service is providing food parcels, which we deliver directly to service users once referrals have been made. To help cover basic overhead costs such as fuel, a small fee is required. We’re committed to making sure support reaches the people who need it most, right where they are. If you’d like to learn more, get involved, or make a referral, feel free to get in touch!

For over 20 years, we have provided safe, supportive and quality housing across Yorkshire for young adults at risk and adults with complex needs who require support and a safe living environment. Working alongside our not-for-profit organisation, Impact Property Services Ltd, we transform underused and rundown properties in some of the most deprived areas of Yorkshire, into long-term supported accommodation for those seeking support for a better life. We currently provide 140 units of accommodation across eight different sites in Sheffield, Bradford and Malton, supporting up to 150 people in need. We particularly aim to support people suffering from mental health conditions and chronic/long-term medical conditions, including cancer, and work to raise public awareness of these issues. We also promote further care and relief by granting feasible respite. Designated Key Workers support our residents in all areas relating to their home, personal development, social inclusion and long-term goals. We are also committed to offering volunteering and training opportunities to our residents and local communities. We use donations of food / groceries to provide food parcels for service users who are struggling financially, helping to relieve pressure on local food banks. We also use some of the products to provide meals during social activities for our service users. We provide access to on-site specialist ‘extra care’ and personalised support programmes, including daily wellbeing checks; health/wellbeing workshops including our newly developed Creative Arts Therapy Programme. We work closely with relevant health/social care partners to provide a coordinated approach to achieve the best outcomes for our residents, while helping to relieve the pressure on local mental health services.

We are a secondary school in Stocksbridge, Sheffield with approximately 800 students from the local area and beyond. We will use donated food to help families within the community in need. These families will be identified through pupil premium data, free school meals data and safeguarding staff within the school. We aim to distribute food weekly, on a Friday to ensure students have food over the weekend. There will be no charge for this and this will be for students who are identified as disadvantaged on the student data we have in school. We could additionally use food as student rewards for the end of each half term to encourage positive achievements in school and the local community. We will publish images of this through the school social media accounts when this is completed and where appropriate consents have been received.
