Southey and Owlerton Area Regeneration

Welcome to Southey and Owlerton Area Regeneration – a community-led regeneration partnership in north Sheffield.

SOAR was set up in 1999 to help revitalise neighbourhoods in the north of Sheffield: Foxhill, Longley, Hillsborough, Winn Gardens, Parson Cross, Shirecliffe and Southey.

SOAR is involved in four key areas of work:

• Getting people involved
  Helping individuals and groups to become involved in the decisions that affect their area.
• Supporting the Neighbourhoods
  Working with and supporting the Forums and TARAs in the area and helping to develop plans and projects to improve the quality of life across our six neighbourhoods.
• Spending regeneration money
  Bidding for and managing funds from the government and Europe.
• Continuing regeneration activity into the future
  Supporting social enterprises in the area and ensuring that projects work towards becoming sustainable in the future.
