Friends of Rotherham

Now Rotherham is a great place for friends. I don't mean pal type friends and I don't mean Quakers (the nearest Meeting House is in Sheffield). What I do mean is lots of little volunteer groups set up to try and help those many bits of Rotherham that definitely need help. You can see from this that there are plenty of 'Friends' needing your time and skills if you fancy a bit of voluntary work.
