We’ve turned purple to mark in support of Weston Park Cancer Charity! 💜✨

Cutlers' Hall was glowing purple to raise awareness of the vital work Weston Park Cancer Charity does for our community, across South Yorkshire, Bassetlaw and North Derbyshire. From providing much needed support via their free transport service, to enabling cancer research.

Directly or indirectly, we can all expect cancer to change everything for us one day, and when it does, Weston Park Cancer Charity is here to change everything too .

Sheffield Bach Choir - Handel's Messiah

A suitably splendid setting for the performance of Messiah this year - Cutlers' Hall, Sheffield, just across the road from the cathedral.
It will be on a Monday 1st December at 7pm and we will be performing all the movements (albeit with the odd da capo omitted here and there). It would be amazing to see you there.

Last week, the Master & Mistress Cutler, Professor Keith Jackson & Gina Jackson, had the privilege of joining cadets from the HSY Army Cadet Force on the Eyes On, Hands On project, led by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC). They joined the Deputy Lieutenant, Christopher Jewitt, the Lord Mayor of Sheffield, and senior representatives from the Army Cadet Force.

This inspiring initiative marks a historical milestone as these cadets are the first under-18 volunteers formally accepted by CWGC. And HSY Army Cadet Force is the first youth organisation to be formally recognised for this important work.

The Master & Mistress Cutler met with the instructors and cadets who play a vital role in helping to maintain UK war graves. Through the CWGC's volunteer programme, these young people, along with other volunteers across the country, inspect and help maintain local war graves, ensuring they remain clean, cared for, and respectfully remembered.

It was a fantastic opportunity to witness the cadets commitment and the impact of their efforts. A huge well done to everyone involved in this meaningful project.
