Some of Sheffield’s most vulnerable adults are receiving vital support thanks to a charity that has made its base in the city’s historic Victoria Hall.
The celebrated Norfolk Street venue is managed by The Foundry Sheffield, a small charitable organisation charged with the task of running the imposing building effectively, safely and in the interests of all tenants, users and visitors and with the ultimate aim of improving the lives of people throughout the city.
Charities working out of the centre’s range of offices include Age Active, Assist and City of Sanctuary.
One of the most successful groups making the most of the Victoria Hall’s location right at the heart of the city is The Sunday Centre, a not-for profit organisation, which serves Sheffield’s homeless and vulnerable.
“The Sunday Centre is one of our great success stories and one that demonstrates very well the many different ways in which the Victoria Hall can touch people’s lives,” says Foundry Sheffield Organisation Manager Rose Durant. “The vital service this tireless group of volunteers provide continues to grow and they are now cooking something like 120 meals every week.”
