What a lovely visit to Social eyes, The Church, Wath Upon Dearne, Rotherham S63 6RD yesterday morning.

John Williams – Labour Councillor for Hoober Ward and my ward colleagues Cllr Rajmund Brent and Cllr Denise Lelliott were delighted to visit Social Eyes to learn more about the work they do supporting adults with learning disabilities and autism.

In the first picture the church in its heyday. Then we have the photos of when we arrived. 12 months later and it is now full of life again.

It was great to meet the Social Eyes team and amazing to see the fantastic space they’ve created after relocating to the former Methodist Chapel on Princess Street, West Melton just a year ago.

What a lovely and inspiring visit to learn about this great provision in our ward at West Melton.

Last night was a wrap-up-warm evening as Social Eyes performed at the West Melton Christmas tree lighting. Afterwards there were warm drinks and mince pies.

Social Eyes footballers journeyed to Doncaster today to take on the Titans.

Back at the West Melton hub, it was a day dedicated to Christmas crafts.

It’s the Rotherham Christmas Lights’ Switch-on tomorrow [Friday 16th] in Rotherham town centre!

There are many festive treats in store for you from live music, creative workshops and street entertainment to a gift market, sound and light installation and mobile observatory, Moon Palace.

Running from 3pm until 6pm, this much-loved event offers family-friendly activities and performances and culminates with the countdown to the lights switch-on at 6pm with the Mayor of Rotherham.

The final band rehearsal ticked off today, as The Banned rehearse for their special performance tomorrow at RMBCEvents Christmas light switch on.

The luncheon club was in production on Friday.

As our footballers trained, they were building up an appetite.

Meanwhile, more Christmas decorations were being prepared.
