Sheffield City Council has made a new Communities Strategy. It sets out how Sheffield City Council will work with all of the city’s communities over the next decade. The Strategy and Resources Policy Committee approved the draft strategy on 15 October 2025.
The strategy promises a new approach= and commitment to working with communities, not just for them. This means involving local people and organisations in shaping decisions, designing services, and delivering change. It marks a major step forward in how the Council works with communities across the city by recognising that communities are experts in their own lives and should be equal partners. Here is an ‘Easier to Read’ version of the strategy.
This is a 10-year strategy that will be reviewed after three years to assess its progress. It will be shaped through ongoing conversations with local community groups.
