Welcome to Southey Owlerton Area Regeneration (SOAR)

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

Communities are strange things. SOAR aims to keep people in contact with one another and to make things happen. Through its local meetings, theme groups and the Board, subjects as varied as art, policing, youth provision, crime, the new community assemblies, transport, health and employment get covered and action gets taken. I am immensely proud to be part of SOAR and hope that the rejuvenated website enables you to participate in local issues, get and share information and help make the area an even better place to live"  SOAR Board Chair Rev Ian Smith.
