This Strategy provides a basis for the future development of the Third Sector across Wakefield District for the next three years (2020 – 2023). It succeeds the earlier Third Sector Strategy agreed for the period 2013 – 2016.

It has been prepared by Nova Wakefield District, the infrastructure and support organisation for the Third Sector, in partnership with and coordinated through the Third Sector Strategy Group, which includes representatives from relevant Third and Statutory Sector organisations.

The Strategy has been guided by a series of consultation events with Third Sector organisations and other partners carried out in 2018/19.

The vision is for a stronger Third Sector, which makes best use of the social, economic and environmental opportunities to improve the quality of life of local people: it is also for a sector, which people trust and support, which is just and fair, creative and innovative and which is passionate and resilient.

A One Page Profile for the Third Sector Strategy 2020 - 23 has also been published.
