Northerners unite to promote values

A new society has been formed by a group of northerners to promote 'northern values'.

NES will be non-party political and is not a separatist organisation, he said. “The North of England Society will exist only to promote the character and well-being of those who would declare themselves ‘Northerners’, and enhance the major contribution made by the North of England to the success and well-being of the UK.”

The NES manifesto involves informing members about Northern activities, achievements and opportunities, and promoting the region’s image and interests.
