What we do

Our mission is to make sure everyone in the city is doing everything they can to make Sheffield healthier and fairer.

We produce a picture of health and wellbeing in Sheffield. This is a summary of the data and information about health and wellbeing in Sheffield. We combine this with people’s stories to help everyone understand what is good about the health and wellbeing of people in Sheffield and where we have challenges to face.

We bring groups and organisations across the city together around a shared vision for a fairer and healthier Sheffield, and we develop a plan for how we can work together to make that happen. We set out what the most important things are for us to focus on together as a city, things that will have the biggest impact on health and fairness. We encourage organisations and groups across Sheffield to play their part, because we know that we can’t do it by ourselves – we go further when we go together.

We also publish information to help the NHS understand where community pharmacies are needed, and we support and encourage organisations providing health and care services to work together to provide the best, joined-up care for people in Sheffield.

How we work

We don’t have a big pot of money or any direct powers to make people do things. There are three main ways that we get things done:

Guiding Action - We develop plans for action and ask organisations to work together and find the needed resources, such as money, staff, or other support. 

Calling people together - We create opportunities for the public and people from different organisations and sectors across the city to come together, so they can talk about challenges, find strengths to build on, explore new ways of doing things, and agree on a plan. 

Influencing others - We help to shape wider work on issues that impact on people’s health and wellbeing so it that can make the biggest difference.
