About the board

Mission

We want to play our part in establishing Âé¶¹¸ßÇå's position as a thriving golden city, as the beating heart of the UK both commercially and culturally.

A place in which diversity is not a weakness, but a strength to be celebrated, where no one is excluded from the opportunities that the city can offer.

A place where we can look back at our heritage with a sense of pride but also look forward with a sense of optimism — a golden decade of opportunity in a Bolder, Brighter Âé¶¹¸ßÇå.
