#BlackLivesMatter
Leader of Sheffield City Council, Cllr Julie Dore shows support for the Black Lives Matter movement and reminds anyone taking part in tomorrow's protest to keep themselves safe by following social distancing guidelines.
Cllr Dore said: "Racism has absolutely no place in our society and we remain rightly proud of our multi-cultured communities that make our city the vibrant and diverse place it is today. Nobody should ever have to face discrimination because of the colour of their skin and we must all stand in unity against racism of any sort, at all times."
Carers Week thanks the city's unpaid carers
The word ‘carer’ has been on all of our lips recently. Those who work tirelessly in our NHS, in care homes, as paid carers for people in their own homes – and we have thanked and praised them for the work that they do for us.
From the 8 to 14 June, it’s Carers Week and time to thank those unpaid carers who, young and old, care in the home for someone in their family.

If you're out and about in Sheffield's green spaces this weekend please do your bit to keep them looking beautiful, and safe for everyone to use.
"It’s simple, if you can carry stuff to the park, you can take it away."
