Celebrating Yorkshire Day across our communities

From rolling countryside and historic market towns to dramatic coastlines and close-knit villages, Yorkshire is a place people are proud to call home.

On 1 August, Yorkshire day celebrates the history, heritage and unique character of England’s largest county. At Broadacres, it’s also a chance to celebrate something even more special – the communities we work alongside every day.

From the Yorkshire coast to the heart of the Dales, we’re proud to provide homes and support communities across some of the country’s most beautiful places.

🏡 Homes across Hambleton, Darlington, Richmondshire, Harrogate, Redcar and Cleveland, Ryedale, Scarborough, Selby, the East Riding of Yorkshire, York and Leeds.

🌳 Close to two National Parks – the Yorkshire Dales and the North York Moors

🌊 Communities stretching from the Yorkshire coastline to the edge of the Pennines

💚 More than £15,500 invested in local community projects through our funding last year

🤝 Supporting thousands of customers in rural villages, market towns and coastal communities

More than just places

Every town, village and neighbourhood has its own story, traditions and sense of identity. Together, they make the communities we’re proud to serve.

Whether it’s supporting local groups through our Community & Sustainability Fund, investing in affordable homes or working alongside customers to help communities thrive, we’re committed to making a positive difference in the places people call home.

This Yorkshire Day, we’re celebrating not only the landscapes that make this part of the world so special, but the people who bring our communities to life every single day.

From everyone at Broadacres, we’d like to wish all our customers, colleagues, partners and communities a very happy Yorkshire Day.
