Highlights report 2024

As we approach the end of 2024, we wanted to take a look back at some of the work we’ve been involved in over the last 12 months.

We invited our team to put forward their personal highlights from the year and we could have included many more examples for this end of year report. There’s a good chance that a number of people reading this report will have been involved in one or more of the highlights. And that’s because
collaboration is central to so much of what we do.

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. Everyone plays their part, and to everyone who we have worked alongside this year, thank-you.

These highlights provide just a snapshot of the sort of work we do. None of these would be possible without the day-today work of connecting, influencing and supporting that are less glamorous but essential to the sort of things you’ll read about in this report.

I hope you join us in reflecting on your own highlights and how you are playing your part in bringing the power of sport and physical activity to people and communities who stand to benefit most.

On behalf of everyone at Yorkshire Sport Foundation, we look forward to working alongside you once again in 2025.
