    • After a busy few months recruiting and onboarding new volunteers to support SPCF, we’re excited to continue growing our volunteer team. Do you have some spare time to help, or know someone who might be interested? Volunteering is a great way to support parent carers to build new skills, enhance your CV, and connect with others, all while helping us fulfil our mission to connect, inform and empower.

    • Family fun day success

    • Despite threats of heavy rain, yet another fabulous Family Fun Day for Sheffield families was had at the Niagara Centre at the end of August. The Niagara Centre offered plenty of space for families to relax and for children to enjoy a wide range of accessible activities. From bungee trampolines to adapted bikes and even a petting zoo, there was something for everyone. A special thank you goes to Sheffield Wednesday F.C and The Sheffield Eagles Foundation for their support with this.
