The social club, which was established in 1951, holds fortnightly tea days to provide regular social interaction, a buffet tea and friendships that members rely on outside of the social club’s meetings.

A volunteer from Age UK Rotherham attends regularly to help members with Blue Badge applications, passport renewals and referrals for council, NHS and welfare support.

The club will celebrate its 75th birthday in 2026.

SYCF is the region’s largest grant-giving charity, awarding more than £1m every year to voluntary and community groups across South Yorkshire.

Jess O’Neill, grants and partnerships manager at SYCF, said: “It’s wonderful to see the older people of Harthill and Kiveton being taken care of in this way.”
