 | This Strategic Plan sets out the Regional Forum's aims, objectives and activities for its next stage of development from 2006 to 2009. |
 | The Regional Forum has responded to a request from the Office of the Third Sector for comments on their plan to support the sector in the current economic climate. The response was sent on behalf of the voluntary and community sector in Yorkshire and the Humber. |
 | Government policy, local commitment and commercial sense are all promoting cross sector partnerships, effective community consultation and implementing diversity. Yet finding ways to do this well can be challenging. This brochure sets out some key information about how to do this.
|
 | In 2005, the Regional Forum and the Yorkshire and Humber Assembly published “Practice Makes Perfect”, a collection of case studies presenting the work of 13 voluntary and community organisations and in particular, highlighting their contribution to regional progress. The publication used the six objectives of the regional strategic framework “Advancing Together” to show how the voluntary and community sector contributes to the Yorkshire and Humber region.
“The Story Continues…” is the first in a series of updates by the Regional Forum on the work of these projects. |
 | The ‘Compact on Relations between Government and the Voluntary and Community Sector in England’ (Compact), first introduced in 1998, is a framework agreement for how the government and the third sector should work together.
Together the Compact and Codes set out a range of principles and a shared vision, along with undertakings for all sides. It applies to central government departments, Government Offices for the regions, executive agencies, non-departmental public bodies and to a range of organisations in the third sector.
The Compact for the Yorkshire and Humber Region was officially launched at the FOOTSEY 2007 Event at York racecourse on 18th October.
|
 | Each of the signitories to the Regional Compact receives a Certificate to acknowledge their commitment to the Compact. This is the Regional Forum Certificate. |
 | This updated version of our popular Regional Structures Guide introduces readers to the agencies which make up the Yorkshire and Humber region.
|
 | The Voluntary & Community Manifesto for Yorkshire and the Humber was launched by the Regional Forum at its Annual General Meeting on 19 January 2009. Produced by the Forum following consultation with its members, it outlines how political support could decide the success or failure of voluntary and community sector organisations in the coming months. |
