Crosspool Community Hub

Working with everyone in Crosspool
In conjunction with voluntary action Sheffield (VAS), based at
St Columba’s church office in Crosspool.  Tel: 0114 2670006

If you are self-isolating, or simply struggling to cope with the current unprecedented situation we have a team of unpaid volunteers registered to help.

We are a flexible resource waiting to adapt to and help as best we can with whatever circumstances may arise during the pandemic and in its aftermath.

At the moment we have a list of local shops who can help with the supply of food and certain other products by delivering to you, and we have been working with them to prioritise those self-isolating or who just need some help.  Should demands on those services become stretched, we will step in to help with deliveries/collections.

We have volunteers who will be happy to simply talk on the phone as we are becoming aware of people’s increasing sense of loneliness due to the current situation.  And this may well be an increasingly important need over-coming months.

We are open to try and help whatever the problem. (Some of us are experienced dog-walkers if you are not able to leave home.) Please feel free to ring us, even if you are not sure we are the right people to help.  We are happy to listen and try to meet whatever needs arise.

The office is staffed from 9am-12noon Monday to Saturday, but there is a 24 hour answerphone.   Tel: 0114 2670006.

 

 

 

 

Dear All
If you contacted us to say you are happy and would like to volunteer to Help Vulnerable people through this difficult and unprecedented time, during the isolation period for the Corvid 19 Virus,
Here is the Update for Crosspool:
St Columba’s and Crosspool Care are the Voluntary Action Sheffield (VAS) Hub.
St Columba’s contact number is: 0114 267 0006
St Columba’s will be registering people who would like to volunteer or help.
They will be signing people up for various jobs depending on whether they are DBS checked or not, they will then be triaging people to the many, voluntary, faith and community groups in the Crosspool area.

Community Support Staff are only taking Emergency calls on 0114 2057120, for people over 70yrs who need help with Gas, Electric or Food.

Voluntary Action Sheffield is Co-ordinating all the Hubs in Sheffield and providing free DBS checks and training for Volunteers through the local Hubs.

For any medical needs, you should contact 111 or your GP surgery.

There are already scams going around so please go through your local Hub and register to keep you and the people you want to Help Safeguarded.

Thanks and Take Care.
Cllr. Anne Murphy
