About
Regather
Regather is the host organisation for the EVS. We are a
worker cooperative with 8 staff and 4 regular volunteers.
As a cooperative we all work together as a team and
actively encourage members to develop new ideas and
projects. Based in Sharrow in Sheffield we work regularly
with the local community to try and improve the local
area through events, projects and maintaining the local
green spaces.

ESC Ethos & Mission
From our experience, ESC works best when everyone gets stuck in
together; we will treat you as one of the team and equal with everyone
else. As a small team we rely on each to make sure all of the jobs that
need to be done get done, this includes organising music festivals or
hosting comedy & film nights; It also includes mopping the floors,
doing the financial accounts & delivering leaflets.
Together we will provide you with a varied programme that will
enable you to develop new skills & show off the ones you already
have. You will be part of the team, part of the community and help
make a lasting and positive impact in the city of Sheffield.
You will also be supported to develop your own personal project
during your stay based on the project theme.
