The Economic Recovery Fund (ERF) is a unique, innovative grant fund that aims to support local economic recovery in local high streets by empowering local groups of businesses to implement changes themselves.
Events are a powerful way to unite people, celebrate the unique qualities of our community, highlight the rich diversity of our neighbourhoods, and showcase the vibrant independent businesses that make our high streets special. Thanks to the Economic Recovery Fund, we've enjoyed a wealth of creative, dynamic events that have energised our high streets, drawn people together, and boosted support for our local businesses.
Sheffield’s authentic and independent spirit is reflected in its retail and there are several areas of the city where clusters of independent shops have grown to become quirky shopping districts in their own right.
