About Us

Who we are

The East End Quality of Life Initiative (EEQOL) is an innovative, community led project with a track record of delivering social, economic and environmental change within Sheffield, across South Yorkshire and with influence nationally. The project is funded by Sheffield Primary Care Trust.

 

What we do

EEQOL works through a community advocacy and research role to give practical support to community forums in Tinsley, Darnall, and Handsworth. The project co-ordinates a city-wide community network monitoring air quality, using diffusion tubes to monitor levels of nitrogen dioxide.

 

Past Achievements

  • Helped set up the participation of local communities to influence decision making in regeneration areas funded by Objective 1 in South Yorkshire

  • Undertook a participatory Health Impact Assessment of the Rotherham Sheffield Motorway Corridor Planning Study.
