It is one of Sheffield’s approaches to Social Prescribing. It’s about resolving social issues and connecting people to ‘things that matter to them’ locally which will reduce the risk and/or decline of poor health and wellbeing, so that people: • are more connected – they have made friends and have a peer network for support • are more resilient – they have coping mechanisms to deal with ‘life issues/crisis’ better • know where to go to get timely help – for example to manage long term conditions People Keeping Well The PKW Team 1.

It’s always proved difficult to find positive results against todays opponents, the last of which was in this fixture last season when I took temporary charge in the touch- line absences of Simon & Jason the win coming after an early goal wrestled the ini- tiative and saw us weather a second-half storm to run out 1 nil winners. Hallam’s current form looks very positive with just one defeat in their last seven games in what apparently was a feisty affair at home to a resurgent Rossington Main side. I understand Hallam ended the game with just eight players on the pitch after a sending-off and two sin-bins. Let’s hope todays clash isn’t quite so feisty. Last Saturday’s result against a “dogged” Dronfield Town was particularly disap- pointing given how we dominated play for virtually the whole of the ninety minutes, missed chances cost us badly.
