NYFVOnet

NYFVOnet is a free email news service, provided by North Yorkshire Forum for Voluntary Organisations, for voluntary and community organisations working in York and North Yorkshire.

The aim is to provide, as quickly as possible, the latest information on funding, national and local policy developments, changes in the law, training, conferences, events and jobs. NYFVOnet compliments the Forum's magazine Forum Focus (published three times a year).

NYFVOnet is available free by email, at work or at home, to all with an interest in voluntary and community organisations working in York and North Yorkshire. There is no limit on the number of subscribers (currently over 930).

For those who wish, it is possible to receive one email a week containing all the emails circulated on NYFVOnet in the past seven days instead of receiving each message individually as soon as it is sent.

Views expressed in messages sent via NYFVOnet are not necessarily those of the Forum. Events and services are not necessarily endorsed by the Forum. The Forum tries to ensure that the information is correct but cannot accept any responsibility for errors or omissions.
