More information
Sheffield Legacy Fund
Community organisations are invited to apply for grants to fund activities addressing physical and mental health and wellbeing and reducing social isolation. The priority for this fund is to support all, or the majority, of the overall funding requested so the grant can have a real impact on activities.
We know that a wide variety of local charities, social enterprises and community groups are doing incredible work to support people by providing physical and mental health and wellbeing activities.
Thanks to the generosity of Matchroom Charitable Foundation and Sheffield Olympic Legacy Park partners, we are able to make small grants to community organisations to support this work.
The Sheffield Legacy Fund is administered by South Yorkshire’s Community Foundation.
