A special screening of Greenpeace's Cost of Living film featuring residents of Sunnyside, Harthill and Maltby was shown in Sunnyside recently.
The free community event was open to all with refreshments provided and an insightful Q&A session with those who featured in the film followed.
“The Cost Of Living” tells the story of volunteers in food banks and community centres across Rotherham; Sunnyside, Harthill and Maltby.
Feeling neglected and facing enormous energy bills, more and more people rely on their community to help put food on their table and provide a warm refuge. Food banks, social cafés and community centres are being stretched to the limit.
The film was entered for the 2023 Charity Film Awards.
You can find out more and watch the film on the Smiley Charity Film Awards website.
