Since 2017, Local Area Coordinators in York have been supporting attempts to redefine how public services interact with communities by amplifying the natural authority of grassroots organisations and charities.
Read more about this in our latest blog👇
communitycatalysts.co.uk/lac…
ALT Quote reading "“Local Area Coordination in York, as in every area where the approach has been rolled out, represents a genuine effort to do public services differently. By prioritising relationships, understanding local dynamics, and bridging the gap between sectors, Local Area Coordinators bring people together, build on individual and community strengths, and help create opportunities where they are most needed.”
