Improving Ilkley was incorporated to identify, fund and deliver projects that enhance, preserve and benefit Ilkley and Ben Rhydding – working in conjunction with key community stakeholders and the council by consensus and consultation. The group is run as a not-for-profit organisation that will coordinate fundraising to deliver the identified projects. Projects can be suggested for feasibility appraisal from residents, community groups, community ‘interested parties’ e.g. The Civic Society, commercial entities.
