Yorkshire & the Humber Forum provides a coherent regional voice for the voluntary and community sector (VCS) in Yorkshire and the Humber.

It is a member led network of networks with over 100 members linking us to more than 20,000 front line groups. The Forum brings together voluntary and community sector organisations to ensure that the sector has the right support and structures to contribute to regional activity.

The Forum’s work focuses on tackling the disadvantage and disconnection which exist across Yorkshire and the Humber. The Forum believes that by placing the voluntary and community sector at the heart of the region, we can create an inclusive and vibrant region – with a high quality of life for all. The Forum supports, develops and advocates for a VCS that is...influential, informed, strengthened and connected.

The work of the Forum covers a range of areas:

* BME VCS Programme
* Infrastructure Development
* Our policy work
* Regions Health Project
* Rural Network
* Voluntary and community sector representation
* Research
* Voluntary Sector Sustainability - the social economy
