Zest

This Community Can (TCC) is an outreach project empowering people in the local communities to plan and deliver activities and events for the community. 

In ongoing conversations with the community, through recruiting local volunteers and Friends of Zest, we find out what people would like to see happen locally and support making it happen.

The TCC team gets out and about in their Tea Tent (open gazebo with drinks, biscuits and chat) through sessions and events and talks to people locally.

Regular sessions include:

• Sewing Group
• Mixed Conversation class
• Women-only Conversation class
• Crafternoon
• English Book Club
• Knit and Natter.

Events include

• Eid Events
• Black History Month and Beyond programme of celebrating and exploring black cultures and issues.
• Heritage events with local residents, Upperthorpe Library, Sheffield Museums and Walkley Historians
• A community call to action to make our community a safer place for everyone.

Our Aims

This Community Can, generously supported by the National Lottery Communities Fund, has been running since 2019.  We aim to:

• Create chances for local conversations to happen and connect people
• Help local residents get in touch with other like-minded people
• Give a hand and some resources for making great ideas happen which make local life better

Feel welcome to come along to a Tea Tent or get in touch:
