What we’re doing in the South Yorkshire geographical area

Our South Yorkshire Team is based at Wath upon Dearne, near Rotherham, and works directly with partners to deliver the economic and community regeneration which are needed to meet the challenges laid out in the Regional Economic Strategy.

We’re currently helping to invest over £80m a year of government funding across our 3 priority areas:

  • Urban/rural renaissance
  • Business & priority-sector development
  • Connecting communities to new opportunities.

Our South Yorkshire office handles the delivery of a full range of Yorkshire Forward activities, including:

  • Developing the first geographical area Investment Plan for South Yorkshire
  • Matching our resources with those of other key organisations, ensuring maximum impact and best value for our investments
  • Supporting and developing the Renaissance programmes for our rural towns and for our urban towns & cities.

The team here also continues to manage a significant legacy programme, including the Single Regeneration Budget and Land Reclamation/Derelict Land Grant Programmes.
