OIAM Corporate Partners celebrate Bradford Live - “Highlight of the week!”

On Wednesday 12th March 2025, One In A Million hosted a unique Corporate Partners event at Bradford Live. Guests enjoyed an exclusive tour of the stunning refurbished music venue.
The team from Bradford Live gave us a fantastic update and a behind-the-scenes insight into the progress of Bradford Live and the positive impact this venue will have on our City.
Ben Gregg, Complete IT Systems: “I was delighted to join One In A Million, fellow Corporate Partners and guests in witnessing the transformation of the Bradford Live music venue across all three stages of its redevelopment in the last few years. What an incredible change – not just for the building, but for the city as a whole!”.
TL Dallas: “A massive thanks to the incredible One In A Million Charity for hosting us for a private tour of the new stunning Bradford Live. This has been meticulously restored after falling into disrepair since its former heyday as the largest picture palace in England. It’s now a beautiful contemporary and flexible entertainment space for Bradford to be proud of. We’re also proud to support One In A Million and their invaluable work with disadvantaged children in our region, creating a legacy that will benefit generations to come”.
Rachel Deeks, Fortem People: “It feels so good to be excited about Bradford again, especially when its such a hard time online! Having grown up in Bradford, attended school on Manningham Lane and worked in the city, I’ve seen the good and the bad over the years. The three directors who have managed to resurrect this building have created something truly magical. I hope everyone shows their support and buys tickets to this amazing venue. This tour was the highlight of my week”.
Angela Senior, Aire Valley Consultancy Limited: “It’s amazing to see how this once-forgotten space is being restored into a world-class entertainment venue, bringing life back to the city and putting Bradford on the map! I was there as a corporate partner of the incredible One In A Million, which does phenomenal work supporting young people across the city. "It’s inspiring to be part of something that not only enriches our cultural landscape but also gives back to the local community”.
Samantha Cockburn, Dindsdale Estates: "Not only did I get to visit Bradford Live during its transformation— I also had the privilege of returning with One in a Million as a corporate member to see the finished venue! What an incredible space!".
Kirstan Branston: “On behalf of Lee, Chris, and I, it was a pleasure to show some of the OIAM partners around Bradford Live. It was rewarding to see everyone’s enthusiasm for it. It does feel there is a real momentum of positivity building around Bradford right now and does like today with further help with this”.
On behalf of everyone at One In A Million, thank you once again for continuing to stand with us to support our work amongst the children and young people in disadvantaged communities of Bradford. It is such an encouragement to have so many of you share in the vision for our children and young people in our great city.
