  • Bradford Healthy Holidays 2020, working as part of the Bradford Community Foundation, awarded funding to provide a free summer programme engaging over 80 school children with a wide range of fun activities and free meals in one of the most deprived communities in Bradford.
  • National Lottery Awards for All, awarded funding to develop a community engagement programme based at The youth centre in Addingham, engaging local residents in a range of activities such as Boxercise, Circuits, Multi Skills and Dance.
  • Linked with 8 primary schools and 2 secondary schools to deliver after school activities delivered by professional sports people still playing today.
  • Effective mentoring programmes to boost participants’ aspirations, confidence, self-belief and motivation. Crucially, mentoring programmes enhance participants ‘soft skills’- personality traits, social graces, communication, language, personal habits, friendliness, and optimistic outlook  which are increasingly important for success at school and in the current job market.
