“We have recently asked our members how they want it to evolve.

“We have also been putting in place a business plan that will drive the organisation forward for the coming year.

“The event on the 17th is about sharing our plans for the future but also welcoming anyone and anybody who wants to see Sheffield grow, flourish and provide opportunities for all.

“We are having more and more conversations with individuals and groups who want to play a role in making the city a better place to live, work and visit.
