Our Covid-19 response

At Sheffield Hallam University we are committed to doing all we can to support our local community in response to the Covid-19 crisis.

Like many other organisations, we are supporting our region and partners with the immediate response and navigating the longer term social and economic implications of the pandemic as we begin to understand the path to recovery.

We've brought together some of our key projects in an end of year report (PDF, 3.8MB), focusing on the impact of that work on healthcare, businesses, people and communities in our region - all delivered by our inspiring and resilient Hallam community.

You can also find out more about some of these projects below.
