We are an independent pressure group set up in 2012 to campaign for devolution and a directly elected parliament for Yorkshire.
As an organisation we have no party political affiliations but are open to working with those who share our aims. We seek to redress the over-centralisation of power in the hands of Whitehall and Westminster which has taken place over many years and to enhance democratic accountability by bringing key decision-making powers to our County. We seek to provide the people of Yorkshire with the means to achieve their true potential. We are committed to standing up for Yorkshire’s prosperity and strive to ensure that the County and its people receive fair treatment and opportunities.
We are a self-financing organisation relying on membership subscriptions and donations. We do not have any large backers and, therefore, we are not influenced by vested interests. All our staff work on a voluntary basis and receive no remuneration. Volunteers also staff our administration and support functions.
