Yorkshire’s Community Foundation (SYCF), the guide is already being positively received by local charities. It is expected to have a positive impact on the lives of many local people and as a resource for services also. CEO Ruth Willis said: “Pulling
together this guide has been a big job, but we have been happy to do it. The potential impact this guide can have on the lives of local people is incredible. As a charity, our aim is to improve the lives of local people, no matter their circumstances. This guide can help us to achieve that goal. Looking ahead plans are already
in place to develop an online version of the guide. An online version will offer another way of accessing vital information which can also be regularly updated with the latest resources available in each area of South Yorkshire. The South Yorkshire Homeless
Survival Guide has been made possible with the support of partner agencies and all four local authorities and thanks to donations from generous local businesses and people.
