2024 is a special year for sport including the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Paris, the UK Corporate Games coming to Leeds for the first time, and the second Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon. The Leeds Sports Awards celebrates its 21st anniversary with awards to recognise the sporting achievements of athletes, coaches, administrators and volunteers at at all levels of sport, during the last twelve months.

Sport Leeds and Leeds City Council invite organisations to get involved in the event and show support for sport across the city. Evans Homes, a Leeds based company with a new development of 2,3,4,and 5 bedroom homes at Skelton Lakes, Leeds is delighted to be in involved in a prestigious programme as one of the event partners. The awards have a long and illustrious history and famous names who have received awards in recent years include Rob Burrow MBE,  Josh Warrington, Hannah Cockcroft OBE, Marcelo Bielsa, Georgia Taylor Brown MBE, Kalvin Phillips, Tom Pidcock MBE, Archie Gray and Gary Hetherington.

One of the reasons for the longstanding success of The Leeds Sports Awards  is that it not only recognises and celebrates professional sport. As Beacons Of The City, and as part of the Evans Property Group, Evans Homes will be presenting two awards at the event on Thursday, the 25th of April at Elland Road,  to recognise the contributions to the success of sport at grassroots level in the city – The Community Coach Of The Year and The Community Club Of The Year.

Ed Bates, Head of Disability Sport at Leeds Rhinos visited Evans Homes Site Manager, Mark Bailey, and Site Sales Advisor, Debbie Gurgin at the Skelton Lakes site and said, “As a winner last year, we know how important The Leeds Sports Awards are for those involved in sport in Leeds at all levels. Evans Homes is a local business with a long history and solid foundations in Leeds and Yorkshire and we are pleased that they are involved by recognising the community champions of our City.”

Mark Connors, Managing Director at Evans Homes said “2023 was a big year for Evans Homes in Leeds, opening our Marketing Suite at Skelton Lakes where we are building 92 new homes. In 2024 we have recently opened our two fabulous Show Homes at Skelton Lakes and we will also be starting another development at Whinmoor in Leeds later on in the year. It is fitting that we are supporting the 2024 Leeds Sports Awards and we congratulate all those who have been nominated across the categories.”
