Involve Yorkshire & Humber can help to:
-
connect university courses with knowledge and experience on a wide range of topics drawn from our practice, research and expertise
-
increase the number of students accessing career and placement opportunities in the voluntary and community sector (VCS)

We do this through:

seminars, lectures and workshops on specialist academic subjects
-
knowledge and research on the changing role of the VCS
-
community involvement in regeneration and public service redesign
-

"CRESR worked with Involve Yorkshire & Humber to research aspects of the Big Society. Our academic interests and their local intelligence combined to produce reports which should be of great interest to the sector and to policy makers"
