A huge shout out and thanks to Ross Fletcher & team @ Robins & Day Peugeot Sheffield for the loan of an amazing PEUGEOT TRANSPORTER.
This is allowing our service and service users to continue with our programmed activities, after the theft of our mini bus last week.
Your kindness in helping our community group is sincerely appreciated 💚💚💚
A the start of the new week, after last Thursday’s theft of our minibus and we bounce back and are back on track.
Thank you to every single person who have offered support, kind words, donations etc. Social Eyes is so lucky to have so many kind and caring people supporting us.
We have all been overwhelmed and inspired by the magnitude of generosity and genuine care for our service and most importantly our precious service users. We are happy to say that we have hit our target in the crowdfunding page of £5,000 and any extra money raised [the funding has to stay open for 30days] will be used towards increased security of our new bus. We are having bollards fitted in our car park that retract up and down alongside various other top secret security measures, so that we don’t get targeted again.
Can we at this point give a special mention to Go2 Travel of Rawmarsh and it’s owner Jamie Hammerton. He is kindly using his minibus and driving Social Eyes to all their community activities this week. Without his help our service users would have missed out on their planned activities at Wathwood farm and football, etc. [see below photos] Jamie had one of his minibuses stolen from Rawmarsh earlier this year and knows all too well what upset and disruption these crimes cause to small businesses like Social Eyes.
One service user commented, “great news and thanks to everyone for their generosity as that bus means the world to our sons and daughters. THANK YOU ONE AND ALL.”
Our café day at Wickersley Methodist Church can now go ahead tomorrow, Tuesday 11am to 2pm [as it does every single Tuesday]. Our service users help with the baking and preparation and serve all the meals. The café is open to anyone passing through the Wickersley area on a Tuesday lunchtime. Beautiful surroundings, reasonably priced and all the food is freshly baked and the menu tomorrow includes: Bangers & mash, Quiche & salad, Jacket Potatoes with fillings, Chocolate cake, Almond tart, Cherry scones & hot lemon sponge and custard.
Thank you sincerely the guys & gals of Social Eyes Rotherham !!!!
Action packed Saturday Club after the unhappy Friday that we found our minibus had been stolen during the night of the floods. 💚 💚 💚
We are crowdfunding after our minibus was stolen during the floods, please follow this link and donate:
Social Eyes is an adult day service provision that’s supports adults with learning disabilities / autism. We are based in Rawmarsh and also have provisions at Swinton, Bolton on Dearne, Wickersley & Bramley. Our precious mini bus that was kindly donated 18 months ago was stolen on the night of 7/11/19. Our mini bus was used to provide stimulating activities to our service users (adults with learning disabilities / autism) and help improve their health and wellbeing. This minibus was used 6 days a week, visiting places in the local and wider community.
All our service users are devastated that such a crime could happen and they struggle to understand why someone would take their mini bus away from them.
At Social eyes we pride ourselves on offering stimulating, educational and real life opportunities for all who attend our service. The loss of our mini bus will impact deeply on the timetable we can offer.
If anyone could offer any kind of donation or help us in our mission to replace our minibus we would be eternally greatful.
Our mini bus provides so many cherished memories to our vulnerable adults on a daily basis.
Many thanks for taking the time to read about our very sad situation, if you can possibly support our fund raising goals we would be extremely greatful.
If we are fortunate enough to recover our stolen vehicle any money donated will be used to invest on more security measures to try and prevent this happening again.
