Company activities and impact

Family Voice Sheffield CIC offers free classes for migrant women and one to one specialised support to disadvantaged and vulnerable families in the community of Nether Edge, Sharrow and Lowfield. We run community classes, exercise classes, English for driving theory and food hygiene for non English Speakers, and sewing / art groups. We host community events to bring the community together and increase cohesion. Family Voice Sheffield ran its first project in July 2016 and became a C.I.C. in August 2018. During the financial year 2022-23 we have benefited the community in the followingways: - We secured funding to take 15 families - 18 girls and 4 boys on a day trip to Filey during the summer holidays, these families were eligible for pupil premium. The families had a great day out. They walked along the promenade, went into the sea and had free time to visit the arcades. For some families this was the only time they have been able to leave the city and visit the seaside. Most of the families had not visited Filey before.- We received funding from Sport England to run different exercise classes. We ran yoga classes to help women that need gentle exercise and movement to help their physical and mental health. We ran get fit sessions for women that wanted to be more active in a space where they felt comfortable. We also hired a local pool for women only sessions for mums to attend and have the opportunity to be in the water safely even though they might not be able to swim. The women loved the swimming sessions and they were oversubscribed. We employed a local Pakistani woman as a health worker to support women in these activities.- We worked with VOZ theatre to run a class called Memories from Home - women came together to share their stories of moving to the UK and the impact that has on their mental health as they live far away from their families. The work was then collated into a performance by the women as part of the Sheffield Migration Matters Festival. The women were so proud sharing their stories with other people from Sheffield, that people wanted to hear about their journey and how they felt.- We worked with Voluntary Action Sheffield and an external provider to run a special project looking at gathering the voices of women about the area that they live. This was to be fed back to the council. The women felt listened to and shared the places that made them nervous to go to and what they needed to make a difference in their daily lives. A huge poster was made that is regularly shown to people and displayed in different places.- We received funding to run a special trip to London to commemorate the Queen’s Jubilee, we visited Buckingham Palace and other sites. 10 women and some of their children came, the majority had never visited London before and some had never travelled by train. It was the trip of a lifetime!- We ran new English classes supported by the council and “magic little grants”. “New To English” is a class for learners that lack confidence, looking at basic English that will aid them in living their daily lives. After attending, women told us their English improved and they felt more confident speaking to people.- We received funding from Sheffield City Council to run an art and mental health group – women were given the space to create things which helped them decrease their stress levels and improved their mental well being. Women said they left the class feeling more relaxed, and happier.- We delivered a lecture to PGCE students at Huddersfield University about how student teachers can best support the families they work with. It was attended by over 50 students.- We ran a digital skills class funded by Sheffield City Council looking at women using their phones in different ways - this helped the women as many were not confident. They said they found the class useful, learning what they could do on their phone. Digital skills are so important in today's society we want to make sure that everyone is able to access this skill.- We ran a special Covid Memorial art group funded by the council. The women came together and created clay tiles that depicted what lockdown and covid meant to them. The pieces were then displayed in an exhibition by Compassionate sheffield. The women visited the exhibition and were so proud to see their work hanging in the millennium gallery. They now hang in our entrance hallway.- We ran a sewing group where women could come to connect, and sew the clothes that they wanted to, we had a sewing teacher who was able to teach them to make cultural clothes they liked and were interested in. This was an opportunity for isolated women to come together over an activity they enjoy.- We collaborated with other local organisations - Baby basics, Bags of Taste, City of Sanctuary, Common Ground, Compassionate Sheffield, Employers Forum, Grow, Heeley Development Trust, Ignite Sheffield, King Ecgbert School, Learn Sheffield, Lowfield School, Mears Housing, Mencap, Migration Matter, MIND, Meersbrook school, Nether Edge Neighbourhood Group, Nether Edge Festival, Nether Edge School, Parent Carer Forum, Roshni, S6 Foodbank, SAVTE, Sharewear, Sharrow Community Forum, Sharrow Primary, Sheffield Anti Racist Education, Sheffield Citizens Advice Bureau, Sheffield City Council, Sheffield Social Enterprise Exchange, Ship Shape, Union Street, Voluntary Action Sheffield, VOZ theatre.- Tudor Trust funding enables us to employ a specialist trauma informed tutor to teach English classes. We worked with 270 women. We held 250 one to one appointments to women for a range of issues, the top being housing, benefits and hardship. We ran 5 different ultra accessible English classes, a parent led playgroup, specialist ESOL driving theory class, IT skills, sewing, art and Gamelan music relaxation classes for women. We also ran a user group to value the lived experiences, backgrounds and needs of women.- We received funding from Sangkalpa to help run Ammi’s Kitchen takeaway and to run food hygiene classes. We ran 5 specialist food hygiene classes, 27 women attended and 20 passed their test. We employed 14 women to work at Ammi’s Kitchen. We ran 18 takeaways for the public. Ammi’s Kitchen has built a great reputation in the local area and is becoming known as the place to buy authentic curries and home cooked food.- Ammi’s Kitchen food social enterprise - we ran 14 Community lunches for the local community - bringing together different communities that would not normally integrate through a love of delicious food. People love the friendly atmosphere and a place to connect with others. We also served 16 pop-up lunches at a city centre venue - serving mainly to local office workers. This gave the opportunity for the chefs to meet and serve food to different people and learn essential customer service skills needed to find full time employment.

Consultation with stakeholders

The company’s stakeholders are local residents from the Nether Edge, Sharrow and Lowfield - women, men and children from this area. Two of the directors of the company are BAME and 2 have lived in Nether Edge and Sharrow for over 20 years. All Co-Directors are daughters of immigrants. Directors have worked in the area with families for over 12 years.We have developed the ethos for the classes and support we provide based on our experience of supporting families in this area. At the end of each course we ask participants what they liked and disliked and what other courses they would like us to run in the future. Some of the women that we work with are not confident in writing English so we carry out informal discussions with them to find out the above information. This has allowed us to evaluate the course, to find out if it has worked well, what needs adjusting and if we should run it again in the future. When we have hosted community events we also spoke to local women about the events and courses they would like to attend.We ran a user group with women who come to Family Voice to find out what they like and dislike, what they think they and their community needs and we work to incorporate them into our future programs.
