Skill Will One of the events held by Yorkshire Mafia is Skill Will. Skill Will is a Social Enterprise offering business, public,
charity and social enterprise sectors the opportunity to meet, connect and support each other through partnership opportunities and programmes. Skill Will was originally set up for businesses and charities across Yorkshire, but the organization has now spread across
United Kingdom. Businesses are offered targeted assistance enabling volunteers to improve their skills, create new contacts and raise morale within businesses.
Other events Yorkshire Mafia facilitates better relationships by bringing businesses together in
Yorkshire in order to promote healthy relationships among them. Buy Yorkshire, an annual conference, is one of such events to promote such activities in the region where different businesses have a chance to interact with one another. The Yorkshire Mafia also organizes Leeds Business Week where different organizations from across the city joined up as "Event Partners" to organize their own business events in support of the exercise. Companies such as The
Institute of Directors, 4Networking,
Irwin Mitchell,
Northern Ballet,
Leeds City Council, Propaganda,
Barclays were among the attendees. Geoff Shepherd, chairman of The Yorkshire Mafia, said: "Leeds is the third largest city in the UK. It should already have a well-established Business Week that brings its business community together. It doesn’t and being a can-do organisation we decided to lead the charge." ==See also==
