We speak to and engage with the wider community.

We're interested in absolutely everyone's opinion and invite those involved (and those who aren't!) to contribute resources to the Network.

We aim to share all of this in a way which resonates with people in York.
We multiply and strengthen connections.
​

We are constantly learning.
