A Lasting
Testimony
From
Sheffield
As we learn about each others lives
we can lay the foundations for a Compassionate Sheffield.
“I think we all have a story. And all our stories are interesting to other people. I think as humans, we like to know about other people’s lives and what they get up to etc. So whoever you are, whatever your background, whatever happened to you during the pandemic period, that is your individual story. And together that makes up the story of Sheffield.”

Tyler
Ecclesfield, Sheffield
“I wasn’t, like, bothered about going near him or anything but it’s like grandparents and them getting ill from it. There were something called kill a granny or something."
Rajeswari
Lowfield, Sheffield
“The attic is my dad’s like workplace and
he likes to work there because it’s quiet. And my mum just works
in the living room. Sometimes she shuts the door and pushes the sofa behind it so we can’t get in when she’s got a meeting.
Daragh
Ecclesfield, Sheffield
“When people used to cough, people used
to, like, stay away
from them and slowly retreat back, like
they were some wild animal. Because they thought they would automatically get killed because of the cough. And it happened to me a lot because I’ve got asthma.
