It was a fabulous evening where our Corporate Partners and guests were treated to a delicious 3 course meal, followed by a ‘question and answer’ session from OIAM Community Activator Rob Carr and his daughter Chloe. They gave everyone a fascinating insight into their lives on Canterbury Estate and their relentless commitment, through their work with One In A Million, to improve the aspirations of children and young people who live on the estate. I'm sure everyone who attended will agree that they are a truly inspirational family!

We would like to say a special thank you to Jane Dodd and Barry Bradley from Napoleons, Bradford, for being great hosts once again and for sponsoring the evening! The food, venue and hospitality was fantastic!

New Corporate Partner certificates were presented to; Begbies Traynor, Bradford Interact, Exa Networks, Marsh Commercial, Schofield Sweeney LLP and Shipley College.

Wayne Cowley, a Director at Packetts, said, “Thank you for this evenings  event. Listening to Rob Carr, and his daughter Chloe, was truly inspirational and makes you realise that with a bit of encouragement and support from others around, you really can change peoples lives. I felt honoured to be part of the event as a Corporate Partners knowing what we do really does go a long way to improving the disadvantaged young people of Bradford. Thank you once again”.

Emma Harvey, Managing Director of Candid HR, added, “It was an amazing event. It was a genuine pleasure to be there and learn more about the charity and hear about Rob and Chloe’s experiences. I’ve rarely come across a charity that is such an integral part of the heart of the community it serves like One In A Million does. Thank you”.
