Hide AdCraig Wolstenholme, secretary of KINCA, said: “The crazy golf and art from the pandemic event was a great way to bring our community together and it attracted a large number of people.”
Lord Mayor Sioned-Mair Richards was one of the many people who visited.
Sheffield Council and Compassionate Sheffield – set up following Covid-19 to support people with grief – provided funding for the event and various local organisations supported it including Wickes, which provided wood for the golf course and encouraged anyone seeking donations for local improvements to apply via their local store manager as part of its community programme.
Compassionate Sheffield is co-ordinating the city’s Covid-19 memorial activity to celebrate small acts of kindness, support positive change and remember those lost.
