Caring in your community

Sheffield Churches Council for Community Care (SCCCC) is a local charity that co-ordinates a broad range of services largely provided by its city-wide team of volunteers, giving older people a helping hand when they need it most.

The type of help offered by SCCCC is varied but always targeted. A talented and dedicated team of SCCCC volunteers and staff are the backbone of this valuable work. In many cases, the support of SCCCC ensures that older people are able to leave hospital sooner. SCCCC volunteers very often play a significant role in helping older people who may have nobody else to turn to for practical or friendly support.

SCCCC thrives on its strong links with the community and enjoys a unique position in the city, working in partnership with the statutory and voluntary sector, whilst being supported by different churches and voluntary sector organisations

SCCCC fits comfortably into the wide and complex range of services that support older people in Sheffield today. This combination of flexibility and a genuine willingness to help has meant that SCCCC has enjoyed over 40 years of success.
