In partnership with Clarity+, SACMHA, Cultural Appropriate Resources, The Sheffield Memory Hub and the Sickle Cell Society, Showroom Community presents You Matter to Me, a powerful short film programme exploring health conditions that disproportionately affect the Black community.
Following the screening, guests are invited to take part in an interactive Dementia Activity led by Carl Case, designed to deepen understanding through lived experience. The evening will continue with an open audience discussion featuring partner representatives, reflecting on the progress, challenges, and future of support for those living with these conditions.
Audience is encouraged to connect with our partners through sign-ups, donations, and health screenings, building stronger networks of care within Sheffield’s community.
