Job summary
This is the development of an existing post that has come out of the
expansion of Golddigger Trust’s work in Sheffield and a successful project

programme, and supporting community outreach activities. Following 5
years growing and establishing this innovative project, we are now looking
to build on the existing work and develop resources and new initiatives for
disadvantaged young men within Sheffield. This post is one of two Made of
More Coordinator posts. The administration of this project is equally shared
