About Us
Company Profile
Fair Play began in 1994 as a government funded initiative, which aimed to tackle the barriers preventing women from maximising their potential in economic, public and community life.
Established in 2002 as a not-for-profit organisation, Fair Play widened its remit to mainstream equality and diversity in the workplace and public and community life through projects, initiatives and programmes.
In May 2002 Fair Play was established as a not-for-profit company limited by guarantee.
Fair Play works in partnership with local and regional organisations to develop and support activities which build the capacity of local organisations and communities, enabling them to contribute to social and economic well-being. The organisation’s core theme is to develop initiatives, projects and activities which encourage a more diverse participation in employment self employment, community leadership and public life for under-represented groups.
Fair Play aims to stimulate and encourage new ways of addressing inequalityt and social economic exclusion by:
- Developing and sharing good practise
- Networking and sharing expertise
- Providing an information point and signposting service for business on the issues of diversity and equality
This is achieved by working in conjunction with a range of regional partners, such as the Learning and Skills Council, Government Office, Acas, TUC, local businesses and, of course, Yorkshire Forward.
