Yorkshire & Humber Assembly

YOU ARE HERE: Home

The Yorkshire and Humber Assembly is a partnership of all local authorities in the region and representatives of various economic, social and environmental sectors. The region covers an area of 15411 square kilometres from Sheffield to Whitby, Hull to Huddersfield, and has a population of over five million.

As well as thriving towns and cities, Yorkshire and Humber has more National Park land, historic houses and castles than any other region, and boasts spectacular scenery and a Heritage coastline.

It’s also one of Europe’s fastest growing regions, and home to more than a quarter of a million companies, many of them from overseas. Our economy ranks amongst the top third in the world.

The Yorkshire and Humber Assembly works closely with partners on key regional issues, and to promote and champion the region nationally and internationally. We lobby for the very best deal for Yorkshire and Humber and all its communities.

We work together to improve the quality of life for everyone who lives and works in the region. By combining our experience and knowledge and working together, we can achieve more and get things done faster.

The Assembly has representatives from local government, business, public sector agencies, education and training bodies, trade unions and the voluntary and community sector.

On this website, you’ll find much more about our work and how you can get involved.
