What we've been doing - Week 1

Raising awareness online

In our first week we had over 600 visits to this page. We’re really keen to keep up momentum so please help us to share this survey far and wide.

We’re seeing some really interesting comments coming through in the survey responses and we’ll share some key points next week.

Speaking to the people of Sheffield

We’ve also been out to Richmond Fun Day on Wednesday and Moor Market on Thursday to speak to local people about the strategy and what it might mean for them.

Some of the big themes we’re hearing are:

  • People want more activities and spaces for young people

  • People want safer, cleaner spaces to come together more generally

And here are some quotes from what we heard in our conversations:

“We need services that overlap”

“I’ve been passed from team to team”

“The people of Sheffield are more lively, more welcoming and more open to me!”

“People need to know what’s out there”

An easier to read summary

We also received an email to say that we needed a version of the strategy that’s easier to read, so we’ve written a new summary using plain English. This version is roughly reading age 11 and is a high level summary, so most of the detail will still be in the draft strategy document. We hope you find this useful and please continue to share your feedback.
