The Smokefree Doncaster Excellence Award was developed in recognition of, and to build upon, the excellent
achievements of the ‘Roy Castle Good Air Awards’ that have been running for many years in Doncaster
and have helped to provide Smokefree environments for thousands of people in our Borough.
The successful businesses lead the way by not only introducing a Smokefree work environment for their entire
staff, but in addition to the requirements of the Smokefree legislation they are seen to be going the extra
mile by adopting new policies to ensure staff are kept informed and supported as they try to give up smoking.
They have also introduced Smokefree exclusion zones, ensuring that they protect staff within a designated
periphery of the building and entrances. In response, Doncaster Metropolitan Borough Council in partnership
with local Primary Care Trust have recognised such action and presented all the businesses that have applied
and have passed the inspection with the Award.
