At West Yorkshire Hawks, we take our responsibility to our members and the wider community seriously. As a not-for-profit club, we are committed to creating a safe, inclusive, and well-governed environment where everyone can thrive—on and off the court. Our policies and governance structures are designed to ensure transparency, accountability, and the highest standards of conduct across all areas of the club, reflecting our core values and our dedication to making a positive impact through basketball.

The club is governed by a committee consisting of a Chairperson, Secretary, and Treasurer, providing clear leadership and accountability across all areas of the organisation. Alongside this, we adopt a collaborative approach by inviting representatives from across the club to contribute to discussions and decision-making processes.

For more details on the governance of the club please refer to the club’s constitution HERE.

While these representatives do not hold formal committee membership or voting rights, they play an important role in ensuring that decisions are informed by the experiences and needs of our wider Hawks community.
