Grow Sheffield in Transition…
As you may already know, Grow Sheffield is undergoing some pretty massive changes right now.
To reflect these, we’ve changed our front page, and over the coming few days, you’ll see further changes as we add to the new section ‘How To’, then we’ll be changing ‘Resources and Info’ into an ‘Archive’ section to show a lot of our previous articles and past news.
Please bear with us as we make these changes.
Don’t worry: we’ll keep you posted.
Thank you.
