Every month, the residents of Sharrow, Sheffield get together for a cook-along...

Sheffield draws students from all over the world to come and study at its universities, but sometimes it's easy for international students to get lost amongst the hustle and bustle of the city. Yat-Fai, as part of the international student support team at Sheffield Hallam University and an international student herself, introduced monthly cooking events for everyone in Sharrow to attend, to make new friends and get cooking! With this idea in mind Yat-Fai needed a space to accomodate her fellow cooks!

"We have particularly enjoyed the themed cuisines that the cook-alongs offer. As a result, students have the chance to cook something new and learn more about the different dishes around the world. Also, the interactivity of the sessions where our students help to cook the meals with local people, really helps to build on the students' confidence and helps them to practice their English."

somewhereto_ were on hand to help and found Yat-Fai a large space with a kitchen and eating area for the Sharrow residents to get cooking.

Six of our own somewhereto_ young people are carrying the Olympic Torch at different points in the relay. We are VERY proud of them!

Inspirational, don’t you think?

somewhereto_ were able to secure three performance spots at T4 on the Beach, performing at the same event as some great celebs...

Our talented somewhereto_ young people, Natalie May, Cleo Sol and RoxXxan were amongst stars such as Katy B, Jason Derulo and Dappy! 

The day was an incredible success and the audience was really lively and so supportive of our new acts! See the action here.  

Since last year's T4 on the Beach our performers have gone on to do some incredible things with the success and support they had;

Natalie May who already has her own charity called 'The Mad Experience', is starting her own jewellery line and just released a new single called Sunshine - check it out here, Cleo Sol has just had a single out called never the right time and find RoxXxan's new single here!

"I'd never been to T4 on the Beach before and it was so much fun, the fact that I got to perform on top of seeing all these amazing acts was an absolute dream come true!" - Cleo Sol, 21, London @CleoSol

"I'm amazed! I had the most amazing day, it couldn't have been better and it's all thanks to somewhereto_!" - RoxXxan, 23, London @ROtripleX

Michael wanted somewhereto_ showcase his talents and his friends talents.

Scottish somewhereto_ regional coordinators Sarah and Desmond have been working with Michael and 'The Pop Up Party Event Team' made up of Michael Beach, Gillian Berry, Amy Joe Fitzpatrick, Gary Gourlay and Charles Stewart; a group of students that wanted to allow their fellow classmates a chance to exhibit to industry, to their peers, in their own style!

The team applied to somewhereto_ for help and assistance to make their event a success. The team had found the perfect location for their exhibition (The Recycling Centre, Dundee). For this event, they wanted the chance to involve as many people as possible, including local DJ's. The event was a great success for the team and their classmates, allowing them all a chance to show off in a way that Dundee has never seen!
