Selby District AVS – we have rebranded!
In the last five years, the landscape surrounding the work of Selby District AVS has changed immensely. To meet the needs of the local community, and address challenges and gaps in services, we have developed, extended and diversified our focus.
We need these changes and developments to be reflected in our name and visual personality, as well as our values and ambitions. This is why we have launched our new identity, we need our partners, stakeholders, and the wider community to know that we are here, what we exist to do and enable them to access us. We are up for the challenge, but our old name and brand were not.
Our refreshed brand is more modern, diverse and accessible, helping us to become more recognisable, approachable and engaging. We want to reach new and current audiences, collectively and directly supporting ongoing challenges in our community and continuing to strengthen our invaluable voluntary and community network across Yorkshire.
We believe in community, we listen, we challenge, we collaborate, we support, and we champion.
We are up for you.
We are…. Up for Yorkshire.
