Pen Pal Scheme

We're taking part in the Pen Pal scheme for Sheffield Churches Council for Community Care (SCCCC), which helps to keep vulnerable, isolated, and older people in Sheffield connected.

How to get involved

  1. Secure a postcard - Look out for us handing them out across campus or nip in to grab one from the HUBS.
  2. Write a warm message to a Pen Pal in need. Talk about yourself, your family, your job, your hobby, or your hopes for the future.

There's nothing nicer than receiving a handwritten letter or postcard through the post, so get involved and help make a difference across the city.

Volunteer celebrations

Throughout the week, we'll be inviting our amazing student volunteers to collect a chocolate bar from the HUBS. Just a little 'thank you' for all the work you do!

  • Reps (Monday)
  • Socs and Sports Committees (Wednesday)
  • Community and Internal volunteers (Friday)
