Let’s shape the future of York communities together
The York Community Fund is a new independent fund designed to support vibrant community action that improves everyone in York’s wellbeing. This fund directly supports the vital charities and community organisations that support local people and communities.
The fund addresses local needs in four key areas:
- Equalities and Human Rights – providing equality of opportunity
- Affordability – taking action to tackle the cost-of-living crisis
- Climate – taking action to enhance the environment and respond to the climate emergency
- Health and Wellbeing – reducing health inequalities
Your involvement matters
Local people’s insights are important to the York Community Fund, and we want to hear from anyone interested to help shape our community’s future. We want to hear your voice, through our survey, so that the York Community Fund supports a truly collaborative vision of York.
We are also looking for people to get involved in the decision making around what the York Community Fund supports. This is for local York people who want to be part of the change-making process.
