• Working together

    Our partners play a vital role in supporting communities and strengthening the voluntary and community sector across Yorkshire.

The role of our partners

We collaborate with partners from across the voluntary and public sectors. These partnerships take many forms – from strategic alliances to peer support and funding relationships. Each plays a vital role in strengthening our impact and ensuring that local organisations have the tools and confidence they need to grow and succeed. 

Why partnerships matter

Strong partnerships allow us to nurture communities more effectively. By working together, we can share knowledge, open doors to opportunities and build resilience across the voluntary and community sector. This collective effort ensures that organisations are better connected, supported and able to meet the challenges facing people across Yorkshire. 

Working together

Much of the support we provide to voluntary groups and community organisations across North, South and West Yorkshire is only possible thanks to our partners. They bring funding, expertise and guidance, as well as a listening ear, helping us shape our work. Their belief in what we do makes them powerful advocates for thriving communities. 

Our thanks

We are deeply grateful to all our partners for their commitment and support. Their contributions help the voluntary and community sector in North, South and West Yorkshire to flourish. Together, we are building stronger communities where people can live well and feel connected.
