Equity

Equity is central to everything West Yorkshire Sport provides

"West Yorkshire Sport believes that every individual in West Yorkshire has the right to access a high quality sporting experience. To achieve this, resources will be directed towards reducing any unfairness that restricts individuals exercising this right."

"Sports equity is about fairness in sport, equality of access, recognising inequalities, and taking steps to address them. It is about changing the culture and structure of sport to ensure that it becomes equally accessible to everyone in society."
