Integreat Plus has always encouraged staff and volunteers to be champions on behalf of the organization by spreading the word about Integreat Plus’ work in providing place making solutions that help people achieve Great Places to live, learn, work and play.
The rapidly growing phenomenon of blogging, social networks and other forms of online electronic publishing are emerging as unprecedented opportunities for outreach, information-sharing and advocacy.
Integreat Plus encourages staff members and volunteers to use the Internet to blog and talk about key issues impacting on places, our organization, our services and your work.
We are a Yorkshire wide service that gives communities, regeneration and place making professionals the skills and confidence to lead and contribute to place based solutions including design and neighbourhood planning that involves and benefits local people. The result is better collaboration between communities and professionals and more intelligent, dynamic and sustainable places.
Integreat Plus values excellent practice and seeks to build and learn from success such as Yorkshire Forward’s Renaissance Programme. Valuable knowledge was gained and we should seek to sustain it and grow a ‘practice’ driven legacy. Our values are:
