Initially by the Well Rotherham programme, a public health innovation initiative at South Yorkshire Housing Association, we are an ambitious cross-sector partnership of local industry, education and community organisations. Our activity culminated in the North Star event in 2020 delivered in partnership with Professor Brian Cox and Lord Andrew Mawson’s celebrated Science Summer School.
We believe that inspired communities can chart their own path to health, wealth and happiness. We see that beneath the regional vision for excellence sit the inspirational stories, endeavour and aspiration of thousands of people; like stars forming a galaxy.
The 2021 event was led by The Work-wise Foundation, an employer-led charity for STEM fields such as engineering and manufacturing, and beyond. We support the development of young people so they have the knowledge, skills, aptitude and opportunities for employment within the Sheffield City Region.
