Latest presentations of Smoke Free Sheffield Awards

Sheffield West PCT Chief Executive Simon Gilby (far left) presents a Smoke Free Award to Deepcar Medical Centre (one of 17 practices in Sheffield West PCT to display the Smoke Free Sheffield Award).

Smoke Free Sheffield aims to promote clean air across workplaces in Sheffield. Participation in the Scheme requires you to have a No Smoking Policy and clear signs displayed for anyone entering your premises.

In recognition of this a Smoke Free Sheffield Award is available for workplaces that have opted to offer a smoke free environment. This has been developed to formally recognise and promote those organisations in the City who are Smoke Free.

If you know a workplace that is Smoke Free, or if you would like further information on Smoke Free Sheffield contact:

Caroline Burrows (Smoke Free Sheffield Co-ordinator), 0114 2264736 or Nicola McMaster (Smoke Free Sheffield Project Officer), 0114 2264664
