A heart to heart ... To create the Age Better in Sheffield Beauchief and Greenhill ward Neighbourhood toolkit, we’ve come together to talk about living here. You’ve told us about the communities of Batemoor, Beauchief, Greenhill, Jordanthorpe, and Lowedges. You’ve celebrated the community groups and activities on offer, and that the ward is a third green space, filled with parks, allotments, and woodlands. You’ve described how your favourite places have changed, for good and bad. You’ve praised your favourite shops, libraries and cafes.
... about your hometown

About Age Better in Sheffield Age Better in Sheffield is a cross-city, six-year partnership (funded by the Big Lottery Fund and led by South Yorkshire Housing Association) to work with people aged 50+ to reduce isolation and loneliness across Sheffield. There is a range of exciting Age Better in Sheffield projects across the city for you to get involved in, and plenty of volunteer opportunities to help you take action. Get in touch and get stuck in to this toolkit to find out details!
We’ve learned about what you love and what you’d like to change. And, as in the rest of Sheffield, we know that isolation and loneliness in the ward is a significant issue – particularly for those aged 50 and above. Want to know what’s on offer, right on your doorstep? Or need some inspiration on how you can stop loneliness on your street? This toolkit is distributed to 7000 homes around the Beauchief and Greenhill ward, and contains some useful bits and pieces to help you out. Go on, take a peek at what else is inside!
This toolkit will... - Help you spot the signs of causes of loneliness and isolation. - Provide tips of how to keep yourself happy and healthy, and how to look out for the wellbeing of others, too. - Show you what you can do to reduce loneliness in your community (and the local services, and Age Better in Sheffield projects, that you can join forces with!)
