Community

Our city has one of the fastest-growing youth populations in the country with many of our children living in areas of high deprivation. We have strategically placed our hubs in the five most deprived wards of Bradford in order to make our services and programmes locally available to these children and young people.

Since we began working with local young people in 2006, our passion has been to remain a continuous presence in their lives and increase the depth of support we can offer them - ultimately to see them flourish not only in their OIAM programmes but in their wider life experiences.

We deliver dozens of themed activities every week through the work of our ‘community activators’, qualified coaches, and volunteers, ranging from open access kids and youth clubs through to engagement, enrichment, and enhancement programmes, which are always themed around Sports, the Arts and Enterprise. These taken place in our community hubs within the 5 constituencies of Bradford; Canterbury, Bierley, Manningham, Windhill, and Keighley.

Our passion is to ensure that our children and young people are at the heart of all that we do. We constantly challenge ourselves to ensure that this sentiment is not just rhetoric, but is true all the time.

We are driven by our 4 core values: compassion, honesty, integrity and excellence.

Since we began working with our local young people in 2006s, our passion has been to remain a continuous presence in their lives and increase the depth of support we can offer them - ultimately to see them flourish not only in their OIAM programmes but in their wider life experiences.
