It's been a busy week as nominations came to a close and as tickets have gone on sale. we were also delighted to announce our HEADLINE SPONSOR for the prestigious event - YORK COLLEGE & UNIVERSITY CENTRE.

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.”

Wayne Chadwick, Managing Director of YO1 Radio said: “We are absolutely thrilled to have York College & University Centre as our Headline Sponsor. It really is a perfect fit to partner with an organisation with a proven track record in supporting young people across our local community, including our athletes of the future.”

He added: “The success of the College, and the quality of their facilities, is clear for all to see – and we are really looking forward to them joining with us for what promises to be an amazing night at the Barbican in June.”
