This theme focuses on helping and supporting residents to live happy and healthy lives in the wards across the North East Local Area. Our aim is to provide more support and raise awareness by joining up services, promoting them and communicating activities in the area. In order to assess the needs of residents and to identify the gaps in support, we work with partners, residents, and services across the area.

Our priorities for this theme:

  • To help and support people to live an independent, fulfilled and happy life
  • To encourage and work together to improve access to health services for all
  • To improve leisure and sports facilities so that they meet the needs of all and are inclusive
  • To work together to provide more joined up support for vulnerable people

Ongoing projects:

The North-East Local Area Committee (LAC) have bought and fitted 10 defibrillators in the area. These are located on:
  • Hartley Brook Road
  • Four Greens Community Centre
  • 127 Page Hall Road
  • Wolf Road Forum
  • Concord Golf Club
  • Margetson Crescent Thomas More
  • Wordsworth Avenue Mount Tabor
  • Verdon Street Recreation centre
  • Spital Hill Sorby House
  • Sicey Avenue Shiregreen Community Centre

The LAC contributed £100 to each community building holding a defibrillator as a contribution to the energy costs for around 3 years. We also pay for the replacement pads which are required each time after the unit has been activated and we have funded the replacement of vandalized units and cabinets. We are pleased to say that these defibrillators have saved lives and have been used a total of 51 times between December and April.

The North-East LAC have also funded mobile defibrillators for groups who meet in places where they cannot access a fitted defibrillator. This allows the members of the group to feel supported in their health needs whilst travelling.

If you spot an issue with any of these defibrillators, please contact northeastlac@sheffield.gov.uk and we will organize repairs as a matter of urgency.
