About FreeNation West Yorkshire (short).
One-line: FreeNation West Yorkshire is a volunteer-run community network building mutual aid and belonging across the Yorkshire region.
Standard 100-word description: FreeNation West Yorkshire is a grassroots, non-partisan community network that helps neighbours look after one another across the Yorkshire region. Founded by a small group of volunteers, the network now runs monthly meetups, a mutual-aid phone tree, community pantries, repair cafes, and welcome sessions for anyone who feels isolated. Its aim is simple: to make sure no one in West Yorkshire has to face a difficult week alone. The network operates peacefully, within the law, and welcomes everyone regardless of politics, background or belief. Its public voice on X is @freenationtoday.
Founder's quote: “As we find ourselves in this world of oppression and tyranny, we are creating support networks and community across the Yorkshire region.”
