Protecting the beautiful landscape of the Yorkshire Dales, providing a collective voice to effect change for the good for those who live and work in the national park area and to create a forward-thinking culture of sustainability are cornerstones of the work being undertaken by the community action-based charity Friends of the Dales.
“Being chair has fulfilled a desire within myself to be more active in that area and to be a little bit more activist, to give back something to this beautiful area that I live in.Bruce McLeod from near Gargrave has been chair of the Friends of the Dales for the past 4 years and is also a film scriptwriter
“That’s very much what Friends of the Dales is all about, making connections and bringing topics and issues to the awareness of members and the public and hopefully shifting attitudes in such a way that they then become active. “I think we have built on our effectiveness, particularly with our quarterly review publication, which has been our calling card to our members and wider public. I am very proud that our editorial team put out such a quality magazine addressing the areas that people are really concerned about and I see us as cutting edge in terms of bringing visions to the fore, getting people to debate and to think about these things.
“Our raison d’etre is that these are your issues, that you’re concerned about, so what do you want us to do for you and what can you do? That way, with us working together, we can rectify whatever that issue may be.
