Kilvinder visited the Sheffield United Community Foundation last night, where she met Rob, Shannon and their colleagues - an inspiring team working with children and young people aged 8 to 18.

The Foundation provides football and multi-sport coaching alongside dedicated youth work, supporting boys and girls, many of whom are excluded from school, in alternative provision or vulnerable to negative influences.

The team is building trusted relationships, offering positive role models, teaching social skills and instilling the discipline that comes through sport. Their work gives young people the chance to feel supported, listened to, and hopeful about their future.

Kilvinder particularly enjoyed speaking with a group of 14-year-old girls who confidently shared their ambitions, ranging from becoming a nursery nurse to a social worker for older adults and a dentist.

This initiative is partly funded by the @SY_VRU, supporting efforts to tackle exploitation and violence across the region.

Kilvinder emphasised that although there is always more to do, it’s vital to highlight what good practice looks like and showcase the importance of this work. She looks forward to visiting other projects supported through the VRU grants scheme.

Have your say before Thursday 📢

South Yorkshire’s Mayor, Oliver Coppard, is inviting residents to share their views on his proposals before he sets the police precept – the part of local council tax that helps fund South Yorkshire Police.

Extra funding for policing means better policing: safer neighbourhoods, more visible policing, quicker response times, and officers equipped with the modern tools they need to do their job.
