City Partnership
The City Partnership comprises leaders of key anchor institutions from across York. It is an informal group that meets regularly to collaborate on projects that will benefit York residents, share news and information and work together on key city-wide projects, such as the city’s response to covid, bidding for Great British Railways HQ and promoting the Purple Flag accreditation.
