What we do
York Multiple Complex Needs (York MCN) aims to create a fairer society for absolutely everyone.
To further our goals, a Network of people regularly comes together.
Everyone is invited to join our meetings, and the Network currently includes people with lived experience, frontline workers and strategic leads.
The Network provides a space to share experiences, forge stronger links and build trusting relationships that lead to more collaborative actions.
The Network:
Shares.
We collate data, information and stories to drive learning and adaptation.
We aim to share all of this in a way which resonates with people in York.
Builds.
We build and develop skills and capacities.
We run training and workshops on a range of topics, providing those around us with the tools
they need to harness change.
Holds space.
We provide a safe space to talk.
We regularly drive collaborative conversation through our Network Meetings.
This creates a focus point for new and ongoing work.
Engages.

We use Systems Thinking to understand the nature of the complexity of the system in York,
bringing a new perspective to collaborative working.
Connects.
We multiply and strengthen connections.
We initiate and facilitate relationships between different individuals, organisations,
initiatives, projects, and strategic boards.
