Well done to Zoe D. and Melissa Simmonds who have been chosen as finalists in the Northern PoWEr Women Awards 😊 Zoe, our peer support lead, has been nominated for the Person with a Purpose award. The nomination highlights Zoe as one of the "most remarkable colleagues that we have ever had the pleasure of working with. "She is a brave and passionate person who has made it her purpose to share her experiences and help to make the world a better place for those who need most support or who have experienced unimaginable challenges and trauma." 💙 Melissa, our community network leader for health equity (patients and carers), has also done incredible work for SHSC. She is a finalist in the Agent of Change category. Melissa is praised as "dedicating her time to overcoming challenges and making a difference where it is needed the most. "Her work is deeply rooted in equity, coproduction, and collaborative models, such as the Patient and Carer Race Equality Framework (PCREF), which she has led on for Sheffield to address racial inequalities in health services and improve the experiences and outcomes for service users and carers from ethnically marginalised backgrounds." 👍 Whatever happens at the final on 6 March we know the massive impact you have both had at SHSC. Thank you and best of luck for the final! 🤞 Salma Yasmeen

This year Chanukah, or Hanukkah, has been celebrated between 25 December and 2 January. Beforehand, Amber Wild, head of corporate assurance, shared what Chanukah means to her: "Chanukah, or Hanukkah, is a Jewish celebration which will be celebrated on 25 December this year, so it will be a double celebration in our household! It is a winter festival of light which takes place over eight nights. A candle is lit each night to celebrate that light is more powerful than darkness and good is more powerful than evil. "Oil plays a significant role in the Chanukah story, reflecting the small jug of oil that miraculously provided fuel for the Temple Menorah for eight days during the Maccabee times. It is customary to eat foods fried in oil and firm favorites (certainly in our family!) are latkes (pancakes) with apple sauce or sour cream and sufganyiot (jelly-filled doughnuts). "Jews celebrate Chanukah in different ways depending on their individual traditions, but really this festival is an opportunity to take some time to reflect, and to sit together with friends, family and good food. "Happy Chanukah all!"

It has been a year of change, challenge and huge progress for us, powered by compassion and dedication from everybody at SHSC 💙 Wishing a happy new year to everybody in Sheffield, our staff members, our partners and to all in our communities ✨🎆 You can learn more about our work this year in this film, which we produced for our annual members meeting earlier this year 🎥▶ https://lnkd.in/evWJtdwg Salma Yasmeen
