Supporting Those Who Give Back – The Banks Group Sponsors the Charitable Business of the Year Award

As The Yorkshire Choice Awards celebrates an incredible 10 years of recognising Yorkshire’s most inspiring people and businesses, we’re thrilled to welcome The Banks Group as sponsor of the Charitable Business of the Year Award. This award shines a light on the organisations that use their success to do good -  those who go beyond business to make a real and lasting difference in their communities.

For The Banks Group, a company built on community values and responsible growth, it’s a partnership that couldn’t be more fitting.

The Banks Group: Building Communities, Not Just Developments

Established in 1976, The Banks Group is a family-run business based in County Durham, working across Yorkshire and the North of England. Their diverse operations span property development, renewable energy, and mineral extraction - but at the heart of it all is a clear mission: to make a positive, long-term impact in the places they operate.

Through the Banks Community Fund, the group has helped to improve community facilities, boost education, enhance the environment, and fund initiatives that bring people together. Their approach demonstrates how business success and social responsibility can work hand in hand.

A spokesperson for The Banks Group shared: “We’re really proud to be supporting the Yorkshire Choice Awards again this year. As we bring forward a number of developments across Yorkshire, it’s incredibly important to us that we champion the communities we work alongside. The people truly make the place and this event celebrates the local heroes, volunteers and everyday achievements that make Yorkshire so special. Being part of something that recognises and uplifts its community feels in complete alignment with our values.”

A Shared Vision for a Better Yorkshire

The Yorkshire Choice Awards exists to celebrate individuals and organisations that go above and beyond - a mission that mirrors The Banks Group’s own values. Both are passionate about recognising people who make a positive difference, whether that’s through innovative projects, social enterprise, or charitable giving.

From supporting local sports clubs to funding environmental improvements, The Banks Group continues to invest in the communities that have supported them for nearly five decades - showing that progress and purpose can grow together.

Celebrating Yorkshire’s Heart for Giving

The Charitable Business of the Year Award honours those who give back generously - not for recognition, but because they believe in creating change that lasts. With The Banks Group sponsoring this award, it’s a powerful celebration of the businesses that use their success to strengthen Yorkshire’s communities and inspire others to do the same.

As The Yorkshire Choice Awards marks its 10th anniversary, we’re proud to have The Banks Group join us in celebrating the spirit of generosity, unity, and care that defines Yorkshire at its best.
