 The Cultural Partnerships ambitions include:

  • To have a strong, sustainable and culturally vibrant sub-region

  • To transform the image of York and North Yorkshire by maximising opportunities for outdoor adventure and increased sporting activity

  • To have a vibrant and strong cultural and creative industries sector

  • To ensure that all sections of the community of York and North Yorkshire have access to high quality cultural and sporting activities

  • To use the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games to inspire York and North Yorkshire
