Our partners
We are actively involved with the following partners and networks to help develop and promote access to our services:
Nationally
Community Accounting National Network (CANn) WYCAS is a longstanding member of CANn. We have a place on the national committee and also meet regularly with the other Community Accounting Services in the Yorkshire and Humber region.
Sub Regionally
West Yorkshire Local Development Agencies (WYLDA) We are elected to the executive of WYLDA and play an active part with other infrastructure bodies in supporting the delivery of infrastructure programmes across West Yorkshire that help front-line organisations.
Fit4funding WYCAS has strong links with Fit4Funding in relation to the delivery of accredited training.
Pay and Employment Rights Service (PERS) WYCAS and PERS have been members of the three-way partnership, along with VAWD, jointly delivering infrastructure services to VCS groups in Wakefield.
West Yorkshire Learning Consortium We contributed to a sub-regional collaborative project led by WYLC which developed and delivered the pilot of a new course called Managing a Voluntary Sector Organization accredited at Level 3 by the NOCN.
Locally
District Infrastructure Consortia - WYCAS is an active partner in each of the infrastructure consortia in West Yorkshire. Through these partnerships (see below) we are able to work closely with other infrastructure organizations in each district to deliver more co-ordinated services to frontline organisations.
Bradford ISO Group
Calderdale Resource and Organizations Network (CALDRON)
Kirklees Infrastructure Group
Leeds Infrastructure Consortium (LIC)
Wakefield Infrastructure Partnership
District CVS – We work in close partnership with all the Councils of Voluntary Service in the five districts of West Yorkshire each of which has a place on the WYCAS board. They refer clients to WYCAS for financial management and training and also gather information about, and articulate the financial support needs of organisations in their area, which helps WYCAS to tailor its services accordingly.
