HEADLINE SPONSOR

The HEADLINE SPONSOR for this prestigious event is YORK COLLEGE & UNIVERSITY CENTRE.

Pictured are: Ken Merry, Principal & Chief Executive of York College & University Centre with Katy Turner, Business Development Director for YO1 Radio & Media, together with Cai Sherlock & Julie Blackburn of YO1 Radio.

The College, situated on Sim Blak Lane, offers a wide range of education options across entry level, through to degrees, higher technical qualification, accredited professional courses and apprenticeships. In addition, the College has a Sports Development Centre, where the announcement was made, and where student athletes from 16 to 19 can combine a full-time education programme with high quality coaching in Men’s and Women’s football, rugby league, basketball and netball.

Ken Merry, Principal and Chief Executive of the College said: “We are incredibly proud to be the headline sponsor of the YO1 Radio Sports Awards 2025. Supporting young people and our local communities is at the heart of what we do, and sport plays such a vital role in developing confidence, resilience, and teamwork.

He added: “The YO1 Radio Sports Awards 2025 are a brilliant way to celebrate the dedication and achievements of not just the talented athletes, but also the coaches, volunteers, and mentors who support them. It’s an honour to be part of an event that shines a light on their hard work and inspires the next generation.”

Our Partners & Category Sponsors

YO1 Radio is also working with our media partners at The Press - and we're thrilled to have been joined by our high-profile category sponsors.

It's fabulous to see so many local businesses getting behind, and helping to recognise, all that is great about sport at all levels across our North Yorkshire Community.

We couldn't have done it without you all!
