Without Walls sets out and ensures the delivery of a long-term vision for the City of York. more
We will do our best to make sure that all citizens feel included in the life of York. We will help improve prospects for all, tackle poverty and exclusion and make services and facilities easy to access.
Some groups of people experience barriers in their everyday lives, for example people with mental ill health or learning difficulties, young people in care and people on low incomes. Groups like these are at risk of being excluded from experiencing benefits that the majority of residents take for granted - benefits such as secure living accommodation and employment prospects and good health and well-being.
The Inclusive York Forum, who guide our progress in this area, was established in 2004 to highlight the needs of the most excluded groups and communities in York and the issues and barriers they face. Forum members work together to try to make sure that all residents and communities share in the city’s economic, environmental and social well-being. An important theme for the Forum is to make sure that poverty in the city is minimised and that the gap between rich and poor is narrowed.
