The voluntary and community sector makes a vital contribution in North Yorkshire, whether this is through provision of services or by supporting community action.
Partnership working
The North Yorkshire Thriving Communities Partnership brings together representatives from statutory and third sector partners across the county to work together.
The group was previously known as the North Yorkshire Liaison Group.
The North Yorkshire Compact is the agreement between voluntary and community sector organisations and public sector organisations about how we will work together.
