sheffield city council elects new leader Councillor Bob Johnson was today, officially elected the Leader of Sheffield City Council. Formerly the Cabinet Member for Transport and Development, Bob will move into the new role of Leader from January 6, replacing Councillor Julie Dore. Councillor Bob Johnson, Leader of Sheffield City said: “I am delighted to be the new
Leader of Sheffield City Council and am completely honoured to hold this position, leading the city I have grown up in and admired my whole life. I’m under no illusion that I have a big job ahead of me – we are in the middle of a pandemic and the local authority plays a major part in looking after residents, ensuring that everyone,
particularly the most vulnerable in the city are looked after, businesses are supported and critical services can continue to operate. Tough times lie ahead, and I will make sure to do my utmost to protect our city through the next stages of this pandemic. I am feeling excited about the future and believe that Sheffield has huge
potential, and I am wholly committed to maximising on what we have to offer. Over the next few months, I am looking forward to working with the people of Sheffield to understand what they want to see from their local authority, and I can’t wait to put things into action. I want to end by thanking Cllr Julie Dore for all she has
done for Sheffield, through years of austerity and most recently leading the city through this pandemic.”

help a charity - online bargains! THE Emmaus Sheffield second hand superstore may be closed for the moment but that doesn’t mean bargain hunters have to stop supporting their favourite charity. For while the retail side of the charity remains shut during lockdown, more items are now being placed for sale on the Emmaus Sheffield eBay page. “It was very disappointing for both our companions and our customers when we had to close our second

hand superstore again,” said Emmaus Sheffield Deputy Manager Charley Fedorenko. “But there is still a great way to support us by taking a look at some of our great range of items - including computer games and consoles and DVDs - on our eBay page, where we are hoping they will generate some extra interest and income.” Emmaus Sheffield is the drug and alcohol free project that provides a home, support and work for formerly homeless people in the city. Emmaus is different because it provides a home for as long as someone needs it, in an Emmaus community. This gives people the opportunity to take stock of their lives, deal with any issues they might have, and often re-establish relationships with loved ones. Through its Social Enterprise programme it aims to provide meaningful work and enable the people it supports – known as companions - to eventually become self-supporting once more. One of the charity’s main fundraising schemes is its extremely popular second hand and vintage store at
the organisation’s headquarters in the historic Sipelia Works, close to the city’s Canal Basin. To shop with Emmaus Sheffield on eBay visit www.charity.ebay.co.uk/charity/Emmaus-SheffieldLtd/127394 To find out more about the charity visit www.emmaus-sheffield.org.uk

When it’s sunny I think ‘Beer garden.’ When it rains I usually go to the pub for a while. When it’s snowing I like to sit in front of the TV with a case of Beer. I’m starting to think I have a problem with the weather. Just been on a diabetes awareness website and it asked me if I accept cookies. Is that a trick question? So I’ve started a sarcasm club. It would mean the world to me if you joined. I bought a massive fish from the supermarket today, and when I got home I found out that all its insides were missing. Gutted.

this to be the reason people stop trying. We want to reassure smokers with this new advert that with time and the right support they can quit successfully. As a time to reflect and reset, the new year is a great time to make your next quit attempt. This may be the attempt that works for you. It may not. But one day you will get there and with the right support that day may be sooner than you think.” Giving people access to the support they need to quit is a key part of Sheffield’s highly successful Tobacco Control Programme which has drastically reduced smoking rates in the city. However, there is still a long way to go to reach the government’s target of 5% prevalence by 2030, with current estimates putting the timeline at closer to 2043 if smoking rates continue to fall at the rate they are. Specialist stop smoking services are the most effective approach to quitting smoking – three times as effective as trying on your own – but 98% of smokers currently do not use them. As part of the new campaign, smokers are being urged to seek support from Smokefree Sheffield and it’s partners which include a range of stop smoking services across the city. Greg Fell, Director of Public Health Sheffield said, ”Smoking is still the biggest cause of death and illness, resulting in immense harm to individuals, families and communities in Sheffield. We know that the majority of smokers want to quit, but only 5% of smokers successfully quit each year. Our message to smokers this new year is that every attempt counts, so keep trying and take pride in each one, because the next one can be the one that takes you to your goal of quitting permanently. It can take some trial and error to find out which method works best for you, but there are specialist advisors available who can help.” Smokers in Sheffield can get free advice and support to quit via the Smokefree Sheffield website www.smokefreesheffield.org.
