Burngreave Community Action Forum (BCAF), is an independent organisation established in 1997 which fights to ensure the voices of Burngreave people are heard.
The Forum belongs to the Burngreave community— its aims and priorities are set by the Quarterly Forum Meetings, to which everyone who lives or works in Burngreave is invited.
From the recommendations at the QFM’s, a Coordinating Committee made up of local people set the short and medium terms priorities for BCAF.
Led the campaign against cuts in communities funding by Burngreave New Deal, helped to coordinate lobbying and supported collective action which resulted in the council agreeing to fund youth and education projects.
Produced the Burngreave Adult Learning opportunities booklet delivered to every household in January 2009.
Produced an audit of support services available to Refugees, Asylum Seekers and Migrants in the area which is included in a Sheffield City Council information pack for new arrivals in the City.
Established a Network of over 30 Affiliate organisations in the Burngreave area
Held 5 successful Quarterly Forum Meetings.
