Virtual Market and Craft Fair
Posted by admin in Events

VIRTUAL NETHER EDGE CHRISTMAS ART AND CRAFT FAIR AND FARMERS MARKET

Call for stallholders

in association with Nether Edge Neighbourhood Group (NENG), Nether Edge Festival, Nether Edge Farmers Market and St Andrew's Psalter Lane Church (SAPLC)

As you know we couldn't hold the annual Art and Craft Fair during the Nether Edge Festival in September, and now the December Nether Edge Farmers Market has been cancelled.

Never fear - I have decided to run a Virtual Nether Edge Christmas Art and Craft Fair and Farmers Market to cater for all your needs during the Festive Season!

The Fair will be advertised through the webpages and social media of NENG, Nether Edge Festival, Nether Edge Farmers Market and SAPLC, as well as Nextdoor, Only in Nether Edge, Friends of Sheffield 11 and other media, reaching thousands of customers in Sheffield and beyond.

The Fair will run from as soon as I can get the webpages up until a few days before Christmas (individual stall holders can decide when they want to stop taking orders).

This is a way of advertising your wares to a huge number of people who are really keen to buy local, quality handmade products.

If you would like more information please contact me (Jean Allen) on jlallen1812@gmail.com or by Facebook Messenger and I will send more details and an application form.

Let's look forward to 2021 Bonfire Night
Posted by admin in News

A message from Tim Major of 72nd St Andrews Scout Group who normally light up Nether Edge every November.....

"Unfortunately, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, this is the first year in nearly three decades the Bonfire could not go ahead. As well as being a fantastic event enjoyed by the whole community, the Bonfire is the main fundraising event for the Scout Group.

We need your help!

In order to enable the Scout Group to continue to provide education, challenge and adventure to the young people of Nether Edge & Sharrow, and to ensure we can still put on the Bonfire in future, we're asking for your support. If you can, please visit our Crowdfunding page and contribute what you can......

We're hoping be back, bigger and better than ever in 2021!"

Abbeydale Street Trees news
Posted by admin in News

News of a fantastic fundraising cycle ride organised by Sisi, 15, and Hetty, 14, who are pupils at King Ecgbert's (off Abbeydale Road). They have pledged to cycle 12km up and down Abbeydale Road each day - whatever the weather - until they raise £500 to pay for a street tree along Abbeydale Road!

If anybody would like to sponsor them the fundraising link is here https://www.gofundme.com/f/clearing-the-air-for-abbeydale?utm_source=customer&utm_campaign=p_cp+share-sheet&utm_medium=copy_link_all

We have raised over 4k now (3.8k on the crowdfunder and the rest through separate donations and t-shirt sales) but there is still a long way to go to hit our 15k target. We are busy hatching future plans but if anyone has any other fundraising ideas please do get in touch.

Also our t-shirts are selling fast so if anybody would like to buy one for £30 please send us an email.

That's all for now.

Peace, love and solidari-tree ????

Sharrow Covid Testing Centre
Posted by admin in News

New local testing site in Sharrow

Key messages:

Sheffield City Council is putting in place an additional three new local testing units to make testing easier and more accessible.
A site is opening near you, at Alderson Road Car Park in Sharrow.
Having a testing site in your local area does not mean there is more Covid-19 in that area than elsewhere
Testing sites have been cleared by the government; it is not dangerous to visit one or to have one in your local area.
Local GPs are also aware of this testing site.
We are aiming to encourage free testing for people in a household where they have any of the below symptoms:
- A high temperature
- A new, continuous cough
- A loss or change to your sense of smell or taste
If you develop symptoms then you must self-isolate immediately for at least 7 days, apart from to get tested. Anyone else in your household must self-isolate for 14 days from when you started having symptoms.
If you need support when self-isolating you can ring the SCC Community Helpline on 0114 273 4567. Lines are open 8:45 am to 4:45 pm.

How can I get an appointment?

People can book free testing online here (it’s the top result if you google ‘NHS test’) or call 119 from 7 am till 11 pm for either:

a drive through test
an appointment for a site test
or a post to home test
When booking people will be given the option of appointment slots and site details.

What should I expect when I attend a local testing unit?
The test is free of charge.
The swab test takes less than a minute and is pain free.
Results from tests taken at test sites are received the next day.
Your local GP will also receive a copy of the results.
Testing is available for all groups in society, including vulnerable groups and people with disabilities. We are continuously improving the testing service so that testing is accessible to all.
Anyone attending an appointment at a walk-through testing site will be provided with guidance on getting to and from the test site safely
Book your test online at nhs.uk/coronavirus or call 119. Whilst we are able to accommodate un-booked attendance, for reasons of ensuring swab availability and for safety of attendees, we strongly recommend pre-booking.
Anyone testing positive for the virus in England will be contacted by NHS Test and Trace to help them track their contacts. This will help people to identify who they may have been in close contact with, protecting others from further transmission.
