Data and Insight
Working with partners we collate and share data, insight and learning to drive decision making.
This includes developing insight and research to ensure continuous improvement and innovation in all we do, understanding and voicing the impact we and our partners have and being driven to achieve tangible results and impact.
With our in-house Data and Insight team, and an array of insight tools/resources, we are able to assist with a wide variety of tasks ranging from desktop research and mapping to bespoke consultation work and evaluative reports.
YSF are pleased to launch our Insight Data Partnership product to turn the data you have into reports that show the impact you are having and make the case for more investment.
It brings together intelligence from local participation visits to give you an increased level of insight into the physical activity levels on a local and countywide level.
We have also rolling out our Learning Bank solution to sharing the best learning in your organisation.
For more information or to become a Data Partner with YSF please contact Emma Gooch.

Yorkshire Sport Foundation is committed to opening activity data, so it’s as easy to find and book a dance class as a hotel room.
