The Crosspool community website run by Crosspool Forum
On Saturday 1 July the annual Summer Fayre takes place on the Coldwell Lane sports field from 1-4pm.
We’re a bit short on volunteers this year so if you can offer to help run a stall then please email crosspoolforum@gmail.com.
The Crosspool Christmas trees will be installed above our local shops on Sunday morning.
If you have an hour to spare from 9:30am on Sunday 11 December 2016, any help with putting the lights on the trees would be welcomed and very much appreciated.
Join Care in Crosspool volunteers for tea and cake at St Columba’s church on Monday October 31 from 2-3.30 pm.
They’re celebrating 30 years of involvement with the community.
The National Trust community allotment on Back Lane will be open on Tuesday 11 October from 11am-2pm.
Could you lend at hand at a Crosspool-organised soup run that helps Sheffield’s homeless people?
For several years, volunteers from the community and local churches of Crosspool have been helping homeless people by making and distributing sandwiches, hot drinks and soup in designated city centre locations.
They do this every other Monday evening between September and May, arriving at 8pm and finishing before 9pm.
Organisers are looking for some more volunteers who would be willing to come down and help distribute the food and drinks. You can choose whether to help out one every four weeks, or every two weeks – most do a monthly rota.
If you are interested and would like to know more, then please email the organiser for Crosspool, Eddie.sherwood@btinternet.com.
A message from Crosspool Festival organisers:
Many thanks to all who made bunting for the festival. We have enough lengths for all the shops to have some to decorate their windows during the festival. Crosspool shopping centre should look very attractive!
Ever fancied coaching football? Well now’s your chance!

If you are interested come along on the day or contact Chris Pryor (Crosspool Juniors under 8s manager) on 07941 805917 or email cpcjfc1@gmail.com.

Crosspool Juniors are looking to recruit a volunteer coach to take charge of an additional team at Under-11 (Y6) for the 2016/17 season.
The expectation is for all our coaches to gain FA Level 1 qualification and Youth Module qualifications wherever possible. The club will support all coaches in their development. In line with the club philosophy we are looking for someone who will help create an enjoyable, challenging and non-pressure environment to enable children to develop as players and individuals.
