A BIT OF AN OVERVIEW
We exist because ordinary people, especially Yorkshire people, can do extraordinary things when they get together and use their inherent grit and determination.
So, The Yorkshire Society is an organisation that organises things for Yorkshire as whole and gives the people of Yorkshire a collective voice.
Non-political and charitable by nature the Society brings the people of Yorkshire together, supports its members, organises activities and initiatives for the greater-good, and helps individuals, communities and businesses throughout the region – the historic counties of Yorkshire’s three Ridings and York.
NOT FOR PROFIT, FOR YORKSHIRE
It is the established champion of ‘God’s own Country’ locally, nationally and internationally, working with affiliated organisations at home and abroad for the benefit of Yorkshire, not itself.
