You can join YHACS as an organisation (by which we mean civic or amenity society with a concern for or involvement in place making, the built environment, architecture, design, planning, heritage and/or the public realm) – or as an individual with an interest in these matters.
YHACS is the membership organisation for civic and amenity societies in the Yorkshire and Humber region (although we do accept members from neighbouring regions). We also have a category of membership for individuals.
The Benefits of Joining YHACS – Civic and Amenity Societies
