We’re here to help build stronger, more inclusive communities across North, South and West Yorkshire. Whether you’re part of a voluntary organisation, a community group, a parish council, a social enterprise, or an individual with a great idea to benefit your local area, we’d love to hear from you.

You might want to contact us because:

  • You need support or advice – on funding, governance, recruiting volunteers, training, project development, community engagement and more.
  • You’re looking to connect with others – to share knowledge, build partnerships, strengthen your networks or help amplify your voice on issues that matter locally.
  • You want to volunteer or get involved – whether you have skills to offer or want to find opportunities to make a difference in your community.
  • You’re interested in our programmes and events – including training, workshops, leadership development, rural advocacy or other services we run.
  • You have feedback or a question – about how we work, how to become a member, or how we might support your organisation or area.

No matter your question or community challenge, our friendly team is ready to listen and help you take the next step.
