“Allcomers” at Vestry Hall

Story: John Mellor

The Vestry Hall is back in action after flooding but, for the last few months, “Allcomers” (formerly “Launchpad”) endured cramped conditions on the top floor.

Sue Lane, who runs the project, told me:

“Allcomers’ is a project working with adults with learning difficulties and we are glad to be back in the hall downstairs. It gives us the space we need to run all our activities and to provide a cheap, nutritious lunch and hospitality for our customers."

“Sadly Sheffield College have left the building but we are hoping to start new groups and activities including a job club, computer classes, keep fit, self defence, and conversation classes for people wanting to improve their English.”

There will be an Open Day at the Hall in November. Any local group wishing to have a stall should contact Sue Lane at the Vestry Hall on 213 3800 or at sues3a@gmail.com. As Sue says:

“It is a wonderful old building with a beautiful modern interior. With the new activities, we hope it will have a lively and exciting future at the heart of the Burngreave community.”
