Yorkshire and The Humber

Welcome to the website for the Government Office Yorkshire and The Humber.

GOYH works for 12 Government Departments and in partnership with organisations across the region to deliver Government policies in the most effective and appropriate way for the region’s communities.

Put simply, our aims are threefold: to improve the region’s economy, improve the quality of life of all those who live, work or visit here and to protect and improve the natural and built environment.

The image above is of the Hull & Humber yacht which is currently competing in the Clipper Round the World Yacht race. Sponsored by Yorkshire Forward, this is the second time the clipper has been entered and the crew have much to live up to - in the 2007/08 race the Hull & Humber finished second. You can read about the race and the benefits it has brought to our region in our Focus On The Humber feature, plus much more in the latest issue of GOYH News.
