Sports and Leisure Management’s Everyone
Active has been announced as the new operator of Sheffield’s sport and leisure venues, as of January 2025.
Last year, Sheffield City Council revealed that the city’s leisure and entertainment venues were set to receive £117 million of investment including rebuilds of some of the city’s most popular leisure centres and improvements to Sheffield’s Utilita Arena and City Hall.
As part of these plans, in June 2023, a competitive procurement process was launched in a bid to attract the best in leisure and entertainment provision to run Sheffield’s venues.
Earlier this year, ASM Global was announced as the new operator for the entertainment venues,
Utilita Arena Sheffield and Sheffield City Hall.
Following the final stage of the highly competitive tender process, Everyone Active, part of Sports and Leisure Management (SLM), has now been announced as the new operator of Sheffield’s citywide sport and leisure centres, and golf courses.
Everyone Active is the longest established and most experienced leisure operator in the UK, having been founded in 1987. Their mission is to encourage more people to take part in physical activity, in person at one of their centres or via on demand training. They manage over 220 leisure and cultural centres across the UK in partnership with more than 60 different local authorities.
Councillor Tom Hunt, Leader of Sheffield City
Council, said:
“Sheffield is a city of sport, and we are incredibly proud of our sporting heritage and facilities.
“Thousands of people enjoy our sport and leisure facilities every day, and our incredible venues have played host to major sporting events over the years. Our facilities have also cultivated talented athletes that have gone on to compete in the Olympics, world championships and who have reached the highest level in their sport.
“Everyone Active will bring a wealth of experience and expertise to help elevate our sport and leisure offer across the city, even further.”
Councillor Kurtis Crossland, Chair of the Communities, Parks and Leisure Committee at Sheffield City Council, added:
“We are committed to ensuring that every person in Sheffield has access to facilities and services that support them in being more active, more often.
“Everyone Active share these ambitions and have shown their commitment to help us tackle health inequalities across Sheffield, which is why we are delighted to welcome them onboard.”
From January 2025, Everyone Active will take over the management of three golf courses and seven leisure facilities across the city, including the English Institute of Sport (EISS), one of seven high performance centres across England providing access to high quality facilities that are specifically designed for elite athletes. These include boxing, paralympic table tennis, paralympic
badminton and table tennis. Sheffield City Council has also extended its thanks to Sheffield City Trust, who has operated 11 of the city’s sport and entertainment venues for over 30 years, and to Places Leisure who has operated the three newer venues since 2016.
Councillor Kurtis Crossland added:
“As we enter this new exciting chapter, we would also like to thank the amazing teams at Sheffield City Trust and Places Leisure, who have done so much for our venues and to keep our communities active over the years.
“The majority of these teams will transfer to Everyone Active and continue their hard work to help keep Sheffield Moving More.”

TOUGH EVENING FOR EAGLES AT LEAGUE LEADERS
a
The hosts ran in seven tries as the only score of the evening for the Eagles came through centre James Glover in the second half.
After an even opening fifteen minutes which saw both sides threaten their opponents’ line, it was Wakefield who led as Kai Rodwell crashed his way over to the left of the sticks to get the ball rolling for the hosts. Jowitt added the extras for 6-0.
The Eagles had a great chance to level the game as Matty Marsh broke through the Wakefield line, before playing the ball inside to Jack Hansen. The Eagles half-back was destined for the try line, but a Wakefield defender made a lastditch ankle tap, who forced the ball to come loose in the tackle metres away from the line.
Wakefield extended their lead on the half-hour mark as Liam Hood’s grubber kick through on the last was grounded in the in-goal area by Josh Griffin. Jowitt again added the extras to take Wakefield into a two-score lead.
And the hosts made it 18-0 as the half-time hooter sounded as the ball was grounded by Derrell Olpherts in the left corner following another kick through.
Wakefield thought they had scored again only four minutes into the second half, but referee Aaron Moore deemed the ball wasn’t grounded. Following on from that, Hood was shown a yellow card
and was sent to the sin-bin for ten minutes.
After being awarded a penalty ten metres out from the line only four minutes later, Jowitt opted to go for goal to get the scoreboard rolling in the second-half. His successful kick took the score to 20-0.
But the Eagles then did go on to profit with the man advantage, as we crossed for our first points of the evening in the 51st minute. Marsh’s break was finished off by James Glover following an offload inside to the Sheffield centre. Aston added the extras for 20-6.
Wakefield responded minutes later as they scored once more in the corner. This time they opted to go right as Jowitt’s grubber through wad finished off by Iain Thornley, but Jowitt was unable to add a kick with the boot from the touchline.
With twenty minutes to go, the hosts scored again as Matty Ashurst grounded Luke Gale’s left-footed kick through on the last, before Hood grounded the ball after making a
dart for the line from close-range for 36-6.
Olpherts added a second try of the evening for the hosts seven minutes from time in the left corner, which sealed another Championship win for the hosts.
Paul Broadbent spoke following the full-time whistle in West Yorkshire, and said, "The lads were pretty down following the game, but I felt they put a lot of effort in against a good Wakefield side. They (Wakefield) are a really robust team, and if you are to get anything against a good side like that, then you've got to take the opportunities when you get given them." It's a quick turnaround for Sheffield Eagles as they're back in league action this coming Friday at home as they set to take on Batley Bulldogs in a big game for both sides, as they push to secure a playoff spot in the Betfred Championship. Kick off this Friday (16/8) is 7:30pm at Olympic Legacy Park.

A man from Derbyshire is marking his 84th birthday by walking 84 miles in support of Blind Veterans UK, the national charity for vision-impaired exService men and women.
James Barden from Dronfield turned 84 earlier this month and decided he would mark the occasion by taking on a challenge in support of blind veterans. For 28 days he will be walking three miles to reach his 84-mile target. He says: “I watched the coverage of the 80th anniversary of D-Day and found it so moving that I wanted to do something to support those who sacrifice so much. I’ve always loved walking and am so lucky to have the Peak District on my doorstep so it seemed like a good challenge. What I hadn’t realised at the time was that I would begin to suffer with hip pain before the challenge was to start. It is now a double challenge as I am walking through the pain to complete it.”
James is walking with sticks to relieve the pressure on his back and has so far completed 26 miles. He is splitting up his daily miles by completing one and a half miles in the morning and the same again in the evening. Born a year after the Second World War broke out, James has limited memories of that time, but his father was a firefighter and a tram driver in Sheffield.
James says: “I have just recently bought a book about the blitz in Sheffield. I was only three months old when the city was targeted. The Germans were hoping to destroy a steelworks factory which made a part for the Spitfire, but their bearings were wrong and they failed to
hit the target. Instead, hundreds of civilian lives were lost and thousands left homeless. My father never spoke about it but in his work as a fireman, I know what he saw must have been harrowing.”
James had suffered with problems with his eyes throughout his life which has made him think about sight loss. He says: “To me blindness is the ultimate disability; it means so much to me to be able to support Blind Veterans UK and the work they do.
I’m currently awaiting a cataract operation and the vision in my right eye is blurry, it has given me a small idea of what the men and women supported by the charity live with every day. I hope that by walking 84 miles, I can raise money to ensure the charity can continue to provide rehabilitation and support to blind veterans.”
James has already raised £357 for Blind Veterans UK. If you would like to support him to raise even more, please visit his Just Giving page: justgiving. com/page/james-barden
If you are inspired by James and would like to take on a challenge for Blind Veterans UK visit the charity’s website: blindveterans.org.
uk/fundraise Blind Veterans UK supports thousands of blind veterans across the country, but knows there are many thousands more who still need its support to rebuild their lives after sight loss.
If you, or someone you know, served in the Armed Forces, including National Service, and are now struggling with sight loss, then please get in touch. Call 0800 389 7979 or visit blindveterans.org.uk/ gethelp

The grass cutting season starts in April and usually finishes at the end of October. It can sometimes extend into November depending on the weather and the grass growth.
Our grass cutting teams work Monday to Friday, from 7am until around 2.30pm, when they return all the machinery to the depot. We do the following work as part of our normal activities:
• cut grass verges in spring and summer
• cut hedges between October and February
• spray weeds 3 times: in late-spring, mid-summer and late summer to autumn
MaYOR’s fUNdING fOR CHaRITY
A Rotherham charity has completed work on a new headquarters and cultural destination in Rotherham town centre, thanks to £617,000 in Gainshare funding from the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority (SYMCA).
Established in 2013, Rotherham-based Grimm & Co, is dedicated to enriching the lives of children and young people by helping them improve their confidence and skills in writing and creativity. With SYMCA’s support, Grimm & Co has relocated its internationally renowned headquarters to a stunning Grade II listed church building in the heart of Rotherham. Mayor Oliver Coppard, said: “The work that Grimm & Co does is inspirational. The impact it has on young people and families, using literacy and imagination to unlock the full potential of young people, is something truly special. I’m really pleased we’ve been able to support the team to create this world class venue for children and young people in South Yorkshire. By growing its team and space and moving to the heart of Rotherham in a Grade II listed landmark, Grimm & Co will not only be able to grow its offer for young people, but they are also breathing new life into an iconic building in the town centre”. The towering Gothic Grade II listed building required urgent attention to address extensive issues, such as repairing the roof, treating pervasive dry rot and dampness.
Louise Treloar of Grimm & Co, said: “The Gainshare funding from SYMCA allowed us to improve the level of detail for our immersive spaces. We use these spaces as a ‘holding area’ for children’s imaginations where they
Grass cutting
The schedule is updated around every four weeks, and the grass is cut around every four weeks, depending on the weather during the spring and summer months. This is determined by the time if takes the grass to grow based on average weather conditions. (It may grow slower or faster depending on how dry or wet the weather is.) If a grass verge is longer than you think it should be, we might be about to cut it. There is a grass cutting programme and this may be one of the last verges to be done.
We may also be holding off while there are flowers growing.
can truly feel free. The SYMCA funding allowed us to really take that to the next level, and the awe and wonder that we’re constantly seeing now in the children mean they completely buy into our way of working and our child-empowered signature pedagogy.”
Through partnerships with artists and mentors, Grimm & Co unlocks creativity and fosters a passion for writing and stories through the power of play. It engages children in the art of storytelling and exploration of new fantastical worlds. The building’s heritage, fairy tale-like aesthetics and landmark location will form the cornerstone of Grimm & Co’s Emporium of Stories. Louise added: “We want to be one of the drivers for Rotherham becoming a story town where all stories are celebrated, no matter a person’s history or experiences. Everyone has a story, and it’s an interesting story because it’s theirs; we want to give a platform to that and celebrate all voices of Rotherham. We aim to be a shining light for creativity, and that shows in the way we have interwoven stories into every aspect of the visitor experience— whether that’s sitting in the Feastery café and completing the activities there or exploring the Apothecary via a creative writing activity.”
This project will enable Grimm & Co to significantly increase visitor numbers. Grimm & Co expects to attract over 120 school visits and 46,000 visitors to its new home, in addition to over 12,000 tourists, each year. The funding from SYMCA has also helped protect and create 22 jobs and 78 voluntary roles since May 2023.
COUld YOU adOpT pEppER?
A five year old lurcher is looking for her forever home after spending 13 months in RSPCA care and being overlooked by potential adopters. Pepper was rescued by an RSPCA officer in Sheffield in July 2023, along with her young puppies, who were neglected by their previous owner. She came into the care of the RSPCA Doncaster and Rotherham Branch where the sweet dog proved to be a proud and doting mum. She watched as each of her puppies found their forever homes, one by one. Now, with her puppies rehomed, she is alone and still waiting for someone to choose her and give her the love she desperately deserves.
Matthew Smith, from the branch, said: “It’s heartbreaking to see Pepper, who gave so much love and care to her puppies, still waiting for someone to show her the same love. Her puppies have all moved on to their new lives, but Pepper remains here, longing for a family of her own. She has faced several ailments that have disrupted her time spent up for adoption, increasing her stay with us. Pepper has maintained her loving and affectionate nature. She embodies the loving qualities that lurchers are known for, always ready to lean in for reassurance and affection. Pepper’s unwavering love for people has remained strong, even as she waits for her own happy ending. While Pepper is incredibly loving and people-oriented, she can become quite anxious
around loud noises. Because of this, she would thrive in a quieter, more predictable household, especially during her initial adoption period as she settles in.” Pepper will also need to meet her potential adopters a few times to help build a strong bond. Matthew added: “She’ll be worth it, I promise you as you’ll gain the sweetest cuddle buddy you could ever ask for. She may steal your sofa, but she’ll also undoubtedly steal your heart!”
Due to her initial anxieties, Pepper would do best in a home with older children (14+). And would like to be the only pet in the home. She would also love for someone to be around most of the time to reassure her as she adjusts to her new environment.
If you’re interested in adopting Pepper, visit the RSPCA Doncaster and Rotherham Branch website for more information.
Staff and volunteers play a major role in the medical and behavioural rehabilitation of these animals and work with foster families and the local community to find them caring new homes. RSPCA branches are part of the RSPCA family but are separately registered charities in their own right, responsible for raising all their own funds to care for the animals they take in. Volunteers and fundraisers are always welcome and can get in touch with the Doncaster branch via their social media channels.

Council Leader Tom Hunt speaks: Here in Sheffield, our aim is to end homelessness – and we are now part of a global group of cities working to make that happen. The sight of people sleeping rough and stories of families living in temporary accommodation have, sadly, become familiar in recent years. But there is nothing inevitable about homelessness. It can be tackled, and in Sheffield we are developing innovative ways to prevent people from becoming homeless. Around the world, cities and local authorities are at the forefront of finding solutions to end homelessness. Sheffield has now joined the International Mayors Council on Homelessness to join the global effort.
The international council is a partnership between the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) and the Institute of Global Homelessness. It is a huge honour that our city has been invited to join. Our membership of the council will allow us to share the work we are doing in Sheffield with an international audience and to learn from other global cities. The global initiative includes
Mayors and Leaders from Chicago, London, Paris, São Paulo and Helsinki, among other cities. Sheffield is one of only four British cities chosen to take part. Alongside the Mayor of London, I join Leaders and Mayors from Lambeth, Greater Manchester and Glasgow at the table. We were invited to join because of our involvement in the Homewards initiative, the five-year programme founded by Prince William and The Royal Foundation of the Prince and Princess of Wales to demonstrate that together it is possible to end homelessness. I am proud that Sheffield is one of six locations in the UK to be part of this. Over the last year, working with The Royal Foundation, the Homewards Sheffield Coalition has been formed. Alongside 63 other organisations and individuals, Sheffield City Council is part of the coalition with healthcare providers, mental health services, our city’s two universities, local businesses and grassroots community organisations. Crucially, the coalition has significant representation from those with lived experience of homelessness.
We are located in Dover, Kent and looking for someone to join our team in the Fire Test Laboratory carrying out fire tests to BS and CE approval.
You must have some knowledge of structural engineering. The job will involve reading all requirements for each type of test and being able to remember those reports. You will be working with a team of people who will also be carrying out fire tests.
The hours of work will be 40 hours per week but if the tests overlap there will be overtime on top. It is a permanent position for the right person.
You must be able to drive as there is no public transport to our factory.

Heatwave could pull in more than £30 million for UK pubs
Landlords could pull an extra 7 million pints as the sunny weather rolls in and Pubs could land a multi-million pound windfall as Britain heads to a heatwave, according to the British Beer and Pub Association.
Landlords and pub staff around the country could pull an extra 7 million pints as pub-goers head to beer gardens and pocket a potential 19% uplift in sales.
The projected boost was based on comparing sales from a week in September 2023, which experienced similarly sunny
weather. Over this period pubs sold 7.1m more pints than they did in an average week for the rest of that month. At today’s prices that would generate additional turnover of £34.2m.
As pubs across the UK work their way towards the bank holiday, August may be the month the sector has been waiting for.
Andrew Tighe, Director of Strategy and Policy of the British Beer and Pub Association said:
“Nothing says summer more than a pint in your local beer garden and many Brits will be raising a
glass to some much-needed warm weather.
“After months of wet weather, this projected windfall could bring a ray of sunshine for pubs everywhere and help raise profits for a sector that plays a unique and important role in our culture and communities up and down the UK.
“Pubs are an essential part of the British bank holiday, and the BBPA urges everyone to make the most of the sunny weather by visiting their local pub.”
The original mission was simple: provide the Victorian working man with the means to improve himself and stay out of the pub. By fostering an alcohol-free environment enriched with middle-class values, the goal was to cultivate a more harmonious home life and reduce spiralling cases of domestic violence.
It’s fair to say the Victorian minister who conceived the first Working Men's Club would have turned in his grave at what the movement became: a multi-million-pound supplier of subsidised alcohol, years spent fighting to ensure women remained second-class citizens, and early educational pastimes like libraries replaced by entertainment spanning Bernard Manning to Sunday lunchtime strippers.
Despite its faults, the Working Men’s Clubs were a much-loved national institution that peaked in popularity during the 1970s.
Sheffield became a northern epi-centre with over 150 thriving venues in the era.
Neil Anderson’s new 'Dirty Stop Out’s Guide to Working Men’s Clubs' celebrates the heyday of this movement that helped create some of the UK’s biggest light entertainment stars of the era. Local names that went on to national fame includes Marti Caine, Paul Shane, Bobby Knutt, Charlie Williams, Bernie Clifton and many others.
But despite up to four million people a week visiting the Working Men’s Clubs in their heyday and the institutions attracting some of the biggest names in entertainment, there really was only one star of the show – the bingo.
The annual club trip took tens of thousands of kids to the coast every year – for many youngsters, it was their only visit to the seaside.
Neil Anderson, author of the new 'Dirty Stop Out’s Guide to
Working Men’s Clubs,' said: “I think it’s vital that this massive part of Sheffield’s working class history is celebrated and preserved. I had the pleasure of interviewing scores of entertainers, patrons, committee members, and more for the book, and it made me realise just how little is left of the movement today.”
It was teetotal social reformer
Reverend Henry Solly that formed the Working Men’s Club & Institute Union (CIU) in 1862. Its motto was simple: “Recreation hand in hand with education and temperance.”
Author Neil Anderson added:
“By the 1970s it’s fair to say the movement was probably shifting more beer per week than half the pubs in the UK.”

A good stArt but only A stArt
After a flying start to the new season, Danny Röhl is keeping his feet firmly on the floor. Wednesday turned in an emphatic performance against Plymouth, sweeping the visitors aside 4-0. But the Owls manager insists it is one step at a time and only the first hurdle is cleared.
He told swfc.co.uk:
“It is a good step but only the first step. Our work in pre-season, we saw the benefits today
and it was a very good performance.
“We never gave them a rest with and without the ball, it was a very good performance and I enjoyed this a lot from the sidelines.
“The new players did very well, it was a team performance, we hunted the right areas, broke through the red zone and created a lot of chances.
“All in all I am very happy, the atmosphere was amazing, the

Rotherham United can confirm that midfielder
Ollie Rathbone has completed a move to Wrexham for a fee which will remain undisclosed but represents a record transfer for the Welsh side, and will go through subject to EFL and FA ratification and international clearance.
The Welsh club reached a figure which matched the Millers’ valuation of the 27-year-old, who had entered the final year of his deal at AESSEAL New York Stadium and he will formally complete his switch to the Racecourse Ground upon receipt of the relevant clearances. Rathbone had the option to extend his contract activated over the summer, meaning that the Millers could command a substantial fee for his services and he leaves having served the club well since joining in 2021 with our best wishes for the next chapter of his career.
The Blackburn-born midfielder turned out over 100 times for the Millers during his stay in South Yorkshire and enjoyed memorable moments with the club as he helped them to promotion to the Championship before the club retained its status in the second tier in 2022/23.

noise so loud and it was pleasing to give the fans that level of performance.”
Whilst pleased with the four-goal haul, Röhl stressed his satisfaction at the other end of the field as the Owls kicked off the new campaign with a shutout.
He added: “For me this is the most important thing. The clean sheet is a big positive. Without a good performance at the back, it is not possible
rovers sign west hAm youngster
Rovers are delighted to confirm the signing of midfielder Patrick Kelly on a season-long loan from West Ham United.
The 19-year-old has linked up with Rovers fresh from spending much of the summer training with the Hammers’ first team, including during a pre-season tour of the United States.
Kelly arrived at the London Stadium from his native Northern Ireland in 2022 after breaking into the first team at his boyhood

“In both directions we played well, we pressed and kept the ball all over the pitch. It is a good start but only

club Coleraine at the age of 16.
And he insists he is ready for a return to senior level with Rovers.
“I’ve been looking to get out on loan for a while now and I think that I’ve found the right club so I’m really happy to be here,”
Kelly said.
“The gaffer spoke with me and my agent while I was out in America with West Ham last week and everything he said was appealing to me about the style of play and where he sees me playing.
“There was the club as a whole and just a lot of reasons why I chose Doncaster.”
Kelly has represented Northern Ireland at age group level through to U21.

He played a key role for the West Ham U18 side that won the FA Youth Cup and U18 Premier League South during the 2022/23 before stepping up to the U21 team that finished second in Premier League 2 last term.
Rovers boss Grant McCann said: “We’re delighted to get PK. He’s a lad we’ve watched a lot of and we had to be wait patiently as he’s been with the West Ham first team all of pre-season.
“He’s capable of playing in the six or eight in our midfield - very much in the mould of Matty Craig. He’s flourished at U21 level with Northern Ireland and has been drafted into training camps with the senior team.”
A busy week on the transfer front continues as boss Chris Wilder adds more attacking options to his squad.
Experienced Championship operator Tyrese Campbell has penned a three year deal and becomes United’s eighth summer arrival, and the third signing of the week.
The former Stoke City striker joins the Blades on a free transfer, hot on the heels of defensive loan pair Harry Souttar and Alfie Gilchrist who committed themselves to United at the start of last week.
On the latest recruit, Wilder remarked: “There’s been a lot of work behind the scenes this week to make these deals happen, to ensure we bolster our numbers with quality for the start of the season.
“Like any deal, it doesn’t just happen overnight, and similar to Harry, Alfie and many others, our work on getting Tyrese here started long before this week. “Tyrese is someone I’ve liked for a long time. As an opposition manager I always saw something in him which made me
think I’d like to work with him one day, so I’m delighted to bring him to Bramall Lane.
“You can argue he has a point to prove at the level, but as a staff we have had success in taking on players similar to Tyrese’s situation, and then getting the best out of them.
“There’s a desire from Tyrese to step up to the challenge, and we see a really talented player here who is still only 24. It is a partnership which we believe can flourish.”
Campbell began his career within Manchester City’s academy, but he turned down the chance to turn professional at the Etihad, instead signing a contract with Stoke City in the summer of 2016, with a fee of £1.75 million set by a tribunal.
He became a prolific goalscorer at U18 level and having helped the Potters reach the FA Youth Cup semi-finals during the 201617 season, he was promoted to the first team after impressing Paul Lambert, with his professional debut coming against Leicester City in the Premier League in February 2018.
The following season he gained some valuable experience out on-loan in the EFL with Shrewsbury Town where he netted five times in 13 League One starts, prior to returning to the Bet365 Stadium for the 201920 campaign, which yielded nine goals in 37 appearances in all competitions.
Since then, Campbell, who also represented England at various youth levels, has scored goals consistently in the second tier and ended his association with Stoke City earlier this summer, having bagged 36 goals in his time in the Potteries. On signing for the Blades, Campbell beamed: “I was keen to get here before the start of the season, get training and be around the team.
“If you are player, looking at the club, anyone would be proud to play here. It is a team with a lot of ambition, it is a great squad who are capable of pushing right at the top of the league which is where I want to be.
“To be wanted by Sheffield United, as soon as I heard that, it was my goal to be a Sheffield United player.”
