This report published by Sheffield First partnership sets out the challenges and opportunities facing the city and how it is responding to them. It provides valuable up to date statistics on health, population, employment and partiularly the effects of recent benefit changes. A lot of the information is city wide, but some is broken down to ward level.

If you're looking for evidence to back up your funding bid, this is a good place to look. Download the report from here:
