South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority Restoring the Pride, Purpose and Prosperity of South Yorkshire. Community Guidelines: southyorkshire-ca.gov.uk/socials We attract new investment to our region.

We are the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority
(SYMCA). Led by Mayor of South Yorkshire Oliver Coppard, we bring together the local authorities of Barnsley, Doncaster, Rotherham and Sheffield and the private sector through our Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP). The Mayor, MCA and LEP have a shared purpose to create a stronger, greener, fairer South Yorkshire. We work together to unlock the potential of our people, businesses and places and ensure they prosper. Our Strategic Economic Plan (SEP) provides the blueprint for how we will transform our region. We will keep people and businesses moving and help them grow, delivering a public transport network and attracting investment to create a stronger, greener, fairer South Yorkshire by 2040. Our vision is to grow an economy that works for everyone. We will develop inclusive and sustainable approaches that build on our strengths in innovation and embrace the UK’s 4th Industrial Revolution, to contribute more to the country’s prosperity and enhance quality of life for all. We have powers and resources, devolved from Westminster to South Yorkshire, which mean we can take decisions locally about our economy, transport, skills, housing and infrastructure. We use these to create a vibrant, thriving South Yorkshire where people want to live and work. We build the conditions for inclusive economic growth which benefits everyone. We help create good jobs, by backing businesses to grow, invest and locate in South Yorkshire. We support people so they have the training and skills to find work, remain in work or progress in work. We help businesses secure the skills they need to be more productive and grow. We serve South Yorkshire every day and connect people and businesses to the places they need to be. As the body responsible for South Yorkshire’s public transport network, we manage the 102 million passenger journeys made each year in South Yorkshire. We are building a transport system which is reliable, green and affordable. We invest in infrastructure to transform our places, revitalise high streets and deliver new homes.

A young person’s future should be dictated by talent, effort, and energy, not their background. But right now, gifted athletes, young scientists, and talented musicians in our region are being prevented from making the most of their talents.

The Mayor’s Youth Impact Fund provides grants of between £2,000 and £10,000 for 11–19-year-olds to help remove these barriers and allow them to pursue their ambitions for grants towards things like travel, equipment, and specialist lessons.

We're on a mission to make South Yorkshire the best place in the country for children to walk, wheel and cycle. 🚶‍♀️🛴🚲
This , we're celebrating the amazing work happening in schools across our region to help more children travel actively.
Working alongside our local authorities, schools and partners, we're putting children at the heart of our plans, creating safer and more attractive routes to school, installing scooter and cycle shelters, supporting cycle training, and making it easier for families to choose walking, wheeling and cycling for everyday journeys.
💙 Creating a South Yorkshire where every child can get where they need to go safely, confidently and with a smile on their face.

A week ago today we launched the South Yorkshire Strategy, a new regional plan with 3 big ambitions :
• Every person in South Yorkshire can stay near and go far.
• South Yorkshire is the healthiest region in the country.
• Every community is connected and proud of its place.

By working together, we can make South Yorkshire a happier, healthier, fairer place for everyone.
