Through a partnership between York St John University and Good Organisation, supported by the Institute for Social Justice the Community Led Tourism project sought to understand how York residents experience tourism within the city, and how the visitor economy can be harnessed more effectively to promote local community-wealth building.
Good Organisation CIC supports marginalised people to share in the positive benefits of tourism within York.
Our aim to effect positive change with speed and passion, by offering training opportunities, managing micro-enterprise projects and providing personal development support to individuals affected by homelessness, addiction, and those with experience of the criminal justice system.
