A community market known for \u201cbringing local people together” will be return on Sunday 23 March from 12-4pm.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The \u201ccan\u2019t miss\u201d Nether Edge Spring community event will host approximately 50 to 60 stalls, selling a range of local produce, drinks and crafts.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A resident described the market as: \u201cOne of (her) favourite things to do in Sheffield. It’s a can’t- miss event.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The market is run entirely by volunteers who are members of Nether Edge Neighbourhood Group (NENG). Previous contributions from stallholders fees have enabled donations exceeding \u00a390,000 to be made to a variety of local charities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stall proceeds from this month\u2019s market will be donated to the St Luke’s Sheffield Hospice and ASSIST Sheffield beneficiaries.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A member of the NENG committee, Ruth said : \u201cThe charities tend to be small, local ones where our donations can make more of an impact. Sometimes a committee member suggests a particular charity but some charities contact us first, or a third party contacts us on their behalf. We pick two or sometimes three beneficiaries per market.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ruth added: \u201cWe always have exciting live entertainers\u201d. The entertainment programme has six acts: the Salvation Army Band,\u00a0 Nether Edge Primary School Choir, Saxophonics, Sounds of Africa, Zumbalicious and Giving Voice (choir).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The market started in 2008, and has regularly brought hundreds of visitors to the area.\u00a0 Organisers have frequently been thanked for their efforts and success in \u201cbringing local people together\u201d.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
NENG members say their goal is for people to \u2018meet, greet and eat\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Only locally-sourced products are on offer to reduce food miles and C02 emissions, as part of the ‘Think globally, act locally’ movement.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
NENG believes the market is: \u201c A crucial part of a thriving local economy.\u201d\u00a0 As well as supporting local charities, the market offers a low cost route for local start-up businesses to reach many potential customers.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A previous stallholder encouraged Sheffield residents to attend as \u201csupporting local businesses is important, especially in times of economic hardship with the cost of living crisis.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
