Attractions
The south of Sheffield is truly a multifaceted, thriving area with many different sides to discover. It has attracted 79,910 people who have called it home. It connects beautiful open green spaces, urban parks and woodlands, along with the River Sheaf flowing through.
We’re home to many makers, independents, diverse community projects, faiths, businesses and restaurants. We know before anything else it’s the people, care and community spirit that’s at the core of South of Sheffield.
Funding and support in South LAC
LACs give you the opportunity to share your concerns and voice your opinions about your local area. By getting involved, you can help make changes and improvements in your community.
The South LAC has a budget of £100,000 to develop and deliver the priorities outlined by the community during recent consultations.
