Friendly Domain Services is a community interest company which has been running a Winter Warmth project.

Director Consilia Ngadze said: “Our aim is to support people in the community socially, emotionally and practically by fighting loneliness and defeating social hurdles.

“We meet in social groups once a week for knitting, sewing, coffee mornings, dancing and walking.

“Our products from knitting and sewing provide winter warmth to newborn babies in Rotherham and around South Yorkshire hospitals.

“We provide trained befrienders for sitting, enabling and respite services. Our target groups are the elderly, patients with long term illness, mental health, disabled, young adults and asylum seekers.”
