Working with Communities

The AONB has worked closely with Rural Action Yorkshire, whose Community Projects Officer, Maggie Farey has developed links with communities to:

  • deliver projects recognised as being of importance in their Parish Plans
  • improve village buildings
  • create/manage wildlife areas, green spaces or allotments
  • provide village/schools arts projects through connections with Yorkshire Rural Arts
  • improve access to services
  • help settlements to work together on wider reaching initiatives that they have as a common interest (including submitting joint funding applications)
  • aid their linking with other organisations who can help
  • identify sources of grants and funding
  • develop other appropriate projects and objectives identified by villages, interest groups and individuals.


    We continue to develop links with other local agencies and groups, both through Maggie and a Development Officers Working Group.
