Local Information
We have been involved in collecting local information in Sheffield for many years, making it available to the public in a variety of formats, answering personal enquiries at our reception desk or by telephone on 0114 273 4761, via printed lists, or electronically on the web.
Our key resources are the Help Yourself database and Event Sheffield website.
Help Yourself
The Help Yourself database, which is maintained jointly with Sheffield Health Information and Library Service, holds information on more than 5000 clubs, organisations, services and groups in Sheffield covering a wide range of subjects from health to sport, from community care to religion.
We use information from the database to produce the Help Yourself Directory,
which includes mainly social welfare/community care groups, services and organisations.
We also include information for specific sections of the community eg women, children,
the elderly, people with disabilities, gay people and people from ethnic minorities.
The last edition was published in 2005 and is SOLD OUT.
Whats's On
We maintain the Event Sheffield website, which is the definitive guide to what's on in Sheffield.
