S62 Community Together Rotherham is a team of lived experience individuals, striving to support the community of Rotherham to tackle mental health and wellbeing, isolation, poverty, self-development and recovery.
Thanks to a £3,000 community grant from us, they’ve launched their “Feeding our Community” free weekly lunch club, for older people with mental ill health, who may struggle to eat well, or feed themselves adequately.
People are already enjoying the benefits of the club and sent us the following feedback:
“It makes a lot of difference to me; I live on my own so I won’t bother to cook. This is the only hot meal to have a week. Thank you very much for your help, the people I have met are wonderful.”
“Thank you for these sessions, it has been a lovely afternoon meeting new people. I am going through a lot in my life at the moment and this is a well needed break. Once again thank you, the food, the company and the staff are so nice.”
“I would say this a more than a free meal. It provides a social outlook that is invaluable. I am married and have a grown-up family that I’m actively involved with.
“Some people are not so lucky, and I see what being able to socialise means to others. Over the past couple of visits since it began, I have enjoyed meeting people with different outlooks, so yes, it is invaluable!”
