| AdminHistory | The South Yorkshire Foundation was established in May 1986. Its roots lay in the Council for Voluntary Service in South Yorkshire and in the South Yorkshire Charity Information Service. In 1983 a Local Vountary Trust Sub-Committee of the Charity Information Services was established, which later became the South Yorkshire Foundation.
The South Yorkshire Community Foundation website (www.sycf.org (accessed 12 Jan 2007)) described the Foundation as:
"A registered charitable trust established to inspire local giving by businesses, individuals, trusts and government, and to distribute funds to local voluntary and community groups across Barnsley, Doncaster, Rotherham and Sheffield".
It stated the aims of the Foundation as:
Transforming the lives of people facing hardship and other barriers by awarding grants to local groups across the region, and
Making communities across Barnsley, Doncaster, Rotherham and Sheffield better places in which to live and work.
