We are a community organisation developing strong roots in the city. We do not seek to replicate or substitute for existing organisations but to provide a forum through which they, and individuals with a love and concern for heritage, can explore issues of common concern.

Our aim is to work together to develop a better resourced, better connected and better communicated understanding of heritage, relevant to a wide range of audiences. So our main priority to date has been to create a Heritage Strategy for Sheffield.

Over time, we plan to work with partners in the city to develop resources and deliver activities that:

• Increase awareness of Sheffield’s heritage stories, sites and assets, so as to bring people to the city and make a positive contribution to the visitor economy
• Create strategic links and initiatives between history, heritage, city economy, communities, health and well-being
• Grow new audiences which reflect the diversity of the Sheffield area
