We are saddened by the news that Sir Hugh Neill, a Founder Trustees of South Yorkshire’s Community Foundation, died on Sunday November 5th, aged 96.

Sir Hugh Neill signed the Trust Deed which created the Foundation in 1986. The people and communities across the region who we have been able to support since then, are very grateful to him and his fellow founder trustees for their vision for a better South Yorkshire.

A service of Thanksgiving will be held at Sheffield Cathedral on Thursday 14th December at 2.30pm.

A collection page has been created for Sir Hugh Neill for the benefit of SYCF.
