Community leaders to help shape West Yorkshire’s future.
A new West Yorkshire VCSE Advisory Group has been set up to give community and voluntary organisations a stronger voice in regional decision-making.
The group brings together 14 leaders from across West Yorkshire, including organisations working with people facing issues such as poverty, debt, housing, employment and inequality.
The group will meet regularly with Mayor Tracy Brabin and senior West Yorkshire Combined Authority officials, helping to shape priorities around:
- Transport
- Housing,
- Skills,
- Employment,
- Community safety
- Climate action.
Members will also share their frontline experience to help ensure that regional policies and services reflect the needs of local communities.
The group held its first meeting on 11 September and will meet quarterly.
