Who we are

We are a partnership group who work together to make Sheffield fairer and healthier. We come from a wide range of organisations in Sheffield: Sheffield City Council, NHS, Healthwatch, our two Universities, South Yorkshire Police, and the Voluntary and Community sector. The group is currently chaired by Councillor Angela Argenzio and Dr Zak McMurray. Every member is an equal partner as we all bring an important point of view.
