'Best Companies' recognition for YSF

Best Companies 2024   team   8086

Yorkshire Sport Foundation is thrilled to announce that we have been named the Best Charity to Work For in the UK by Best Companies.

Best Companies is a leading employee engagement specialist, delivering powerful data and insights to help positive change within the workplace.

They award accreditation based on the unique BCI score generated by a survey sent to every member of a workplace. Organisations achieve a score between zero and 1,000, receiving either a ‘One to Watch’ status, or 1 – 3 Star Accreditation.

As well as being named the Best Charity, we were also announced as winners of the 'Giving Something Back' Special Award (small company category). In addition, we achieved:

- A three-star, 'World Class Company to Work For' status for the second successive year
- The tenth best small business to work for in the UK
- The ninth best company to work for in Yorkshire and the Humber

Nigel Harrison, Chief Executive of YSF, commented: "This is fantastic recognition for every single member of the team who live out our values on a daily basis.

"The 'Best Companies' accreditation allows us to know what the team think of working here, and it's fantastic that they are so proud to be part of this team, just as I am incredibly proud of them.

"I'd like to thank our Board of Trustees for providing support and challenge to myself, our leadership team and the organisation as a whole to be the best we can be."
