The Regional Forum provides a coherent regional voice for the voluntary and community sector in Yorkshire and the Humber.

It is a member led network of networks with over 150 members. 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 Regional Forum supports, develops and advocates for a VCS that is increasingly...effective, influential, healthy and connected.

The work of the Regional Forum covers a range of policy areas:
