Lest we Forget
Urgent Appeal – Missing Cat in Crosspool
Please help us find “Sonny” a cherished 2-year-old white tabby, who went missing yesterday in the Crosspool area. He’s chipped, neutered, and uses a chipped cat flap, and usually only stays out for just a couple of hours during the day and never ventures out at night.
The owner is very worried and would be very grateful for any sightings or information. email: crosspoolforum@gmail.com
If you live nearby, please check your sheds, garages, and any quiet corners he might have slipped into.
Thank you for keeping an eye out.

Crosspool Social celebrated at 11 Downing Street small business reception
Crosspool Social, the local café located on Sandygate Road in Crosspool, attended a drinks reception at Number 11 Downing Street on Monday 13th October which had been organised to celebrate the vital contribution of small businesses to our country.
The café was invited to attend the reception by local MP Olivia Blake, who said that Crosspool Social had ‘become a cherished part of the local community… as a venue where creativity, connection, and community spirit flourish.
In their Facebook status about their invitation, Katie from Crosspool Social said that she was ‘so proud of the impact we have already made with the cafe. Thank you to Olivia Blake MP for the invitation (we’re honoured!) and to everyone who has bought a coffee, cake, pie or pint, or supported us by attending one of our events.’
Minesh Parekh, Crosspool Councillor and a member of Sheffield City Council’s Economic Development committee said:
“Small businesses like Crosspool Social are the backbone of our city’s economy. I’m really glad that our MP Olivia Blake chose Crosspool Social, which is such an important anchor in our local community, and that the team got a much-deserved celebration in Downing Street.”
