Maxwell Ayamba has contributed to a recent report by the Baring Trust.

Called ‘Creatively Minded and Heritage’ The report asks how can heritage and creativity support mental health? The report provides an overview, through 18 case studies, on how heritage and arts organisations are drawing on a wide range of heritage assets and art forms to support people’s mental health and promote community connections.

You can download and read the publication on the Baring Trust website. Maxwell’s case study starts on Page 63

The Baring Trust is an independent foundation which protects and advances human rights and promotes inclusion.

Tackling inequalities fund: Sheffield Environmental Movement

Some of Sheffield Environmental Movement’s activities have been funded through the Tackling Inequalities Fund. The funding, provided by Sport England, was put in place to limit the impact of the coronoavirus pandemic on activity levels in groups who need it most.

On 5th November 2021 Waitrose Sheffield as part of its ‘Give A Little Love’ grant giving scheme, donated £400 to Sheffield Environmental Movement.

Jane Edwards, Community Lead at Waitrose and Partners said; “We were looking for charities local to each branch that supported the environment. I came across your charity on the internet and was very impressed with all the work you do, but in particular the education side of your work. I love the fact that you are sharing your knowledge of environmental issues with people of all ages and backgrounds. I wish you and the charity all the very best with your work “.

Sheffield Environmental Movement thanks Waitrose and Partners for recognising and supporting our environmental work connecting marginalised groups to green spaces!
