Mums United may have been born out of fighting anti-social behaviour and gang culture, but now it is supporting hundreds of people in Sheffield who need it most.
The charity operates a community meal out of its charity community centre on the Wicker in Sheffield city centre. It started as a small service, but is now feeding a hot meal to around 50 people a week.
The Star's Harry Harrison visited the community meal to start November 2024 to hear from the charity about why it is so important.

00:00We decided to just cook for just a few people, not too many. It started off with about 10-15 people.
00:08Now as weeks are going we're getting up to about 50 people and this week you see they're coming in
00:14and going. So it's just to have a hot meal here and also people don't want to sit here,
00:21it's everyone's choice if they want to sit here or take it out. So some people just take it out
00:26they're not comfortable of sitting around with people and so we've actually really done it for
00:31people here that come to us and said they're struggling. With everything, the costs and
00:36everything being high, people are going down to one meal a day and one meal from us,
00:42hot meal from us is really helpful and you can see how much they appreciate it.
