Recent fundraising highlights include a team from Your Space Hoyland who took on the Dragonboat Race at Manvers Lake, reaching the semi-finals and raising £2,548 for Bluebell Wood Children’s Hospice.
At Your Space Dearneside, staff and members marked National Suicide Awareness Day with a one-mile sponsored swim and strength & endurance gym challenges, raising over £400 for PAPYRUS, the charity dedicated to preventing young suicide.
Operator BPL also opened its doors to host a range of events, helping raise the profile of multiple sports and showcasing inclusive opportunities to get involved. These included the Be Well @ Work 5-a-side tournament, the Yorkshire Kurling Pairs Championship, the UUKMA Yorkshire & Humber Sports Meet, and a special Wheels for All inclusive cycling session at Dorothy Hyman Sports Centre attended by Olympic gold medallist Ed Clancy.
“Our mission as a charitable trust is to engage with our local communities and help them connect and thrive.
We’re proud to host a wide range of events and showcase local sporting opportunities, as well as sponsor community moments like the Barnsley 10k, where over 45 of our staff also took part.
Supporting fundraising and community events is a key part of how we give back, helping people feel good together and love where they live.”
