New chapter for residents and community groups on Sheffield estate

Residents and community groups around Shiregreen have started new chapters in their reading lives thanks to special World Book Night deliveries.

Staff from Sanctuary Housing have given out a range of books to local groups in celebration of the national event, designed to inspire a love of reading among those who don’t read on a regular basis.

Recipients of the books were a toddler group at United Reformed Church and Forge Youth Group members.

Sanctuary Housing provides social housing on the Shiregreen estate and has spent £100 million improving homes and the local environment over recent years.

It also supports community schemes.
