Who we are
Yorkshire Sport Foundation is a National Lottery funded charity working across the nine districts of South Yorkshire and West Yorkshire, and part of a network of England-wide Active Partnerships.
We believe in the power of sport, physical activity and movement to change people’s lives, bring us together and tackle inequalities. We want as many people as possible to enjoy all the benefits being active can bring.
As a charity we work closely with partners to help individuals and communities tackle inequalities, overcome barriers and build healthy habits for life.
We are made up of local support, development, sport welfare and business support teams, with a Board of trustees adding leadership and oversight.
Yorkshire Sport Foundation is one of the 42 Active Partnerships in England supporting local and national organisations to work better together.
We work to deliver Sport England’s 2021-2031 Uniting the Movement strategy by connecting, influencing and providing opportunities to be active across South Yorkshire and West Yorkshire.
