A lot of people make jam, that is true. But more specifically, we make jam with a conscious. There are a lot of barriers and stereotypes that separate the homeless in Sheffield and the students in Sheffield. The students appear to have very misconstrued opinions on what has happened to an individual to make them homeless, and the homeless believe students are wrecking society with their binge drinking and lack of consideration for anyone but themselves.
Students working with the homeless allows these barriers to be brought down and for the truth to be discovered. Those without permanent housing find it almost impossible to get themselves back on the employment ladder, as they have no referee, no support, no CV help and no experience.
This is where jam comes in.
Our jam is now stocked at Just Natural in Crookes.
They make it. We eat it. This is the HomeMade project.
