Community 1st Sheffield was established in October 2005 under the government’s Local Improvement Finance Trust (LIFT) programme as a public private partnership with an original aim to develop and maintain community-based primary health, social care and community premises in Sheffield.
While our initial focus was on developing facilities to support improved primary care provision, the move towards greater co-location and integration of health, social care and community services has allowed the LIFT partnership to thrive and develop exciting community facilities which are home to a range of services and which offer Sheffield’s local communities an excellent opportunity to benefit from the real investment being made towards a healthier future.
