The Sunday Centre is a not-for profit organisation, based in the city centre, which serves Sheffield’s homeless and vulnerable. On Sundays, there is a particular need for a safe, warm refuge available to all because many of the other relief organisations working in Sheffield close on this day. Our main aim is to provide hot food and drinks, yet we also offer our guests a genuine welcome and the chance to socialise with others as they wish. As before, we still operate out of Victoria Hall Methodist Church, using the entrance on George Street for access (see “Our Location” for a map and directions).

Sunday Meal Service

We open the doors at 1.30 pm to hand out just over 100 meals that contain a nutritious, balanced, hot meal (both meat an vegetarian options are available) along with two pieces of fruit (e.g. a banana and an orange), cake, a chocolate treat, fruit juice, a bottle of water, and bread & butter. We have usually handed out all meals by just past 2:00pm.

Many of our guests are in insecure accommodation and a few sleep rough, yet we also seek to serve those affected by poverty, substance issues, addictions, mental health issues or social exclusion. Our guests and volunteers encompass a broad range of races, faiths and cultures and we make everyone welcome, regardless of their background or circumstances.

Our sessions are run entirely by volunteers and we are always glad to hear from anyone seeking to become involved with the project see the page Volunteer with Us for more. We rely entirely on donations to support our work; to find out how you can donate to us, please visit the page Other ways to support us.
