Diversity Exchange
A collective initiative from the public and the voluntary community sector to create ‘a place where everyone feels that they belong, are understood, feel safe and are able to fully participate in the opportunities Bradford district and Craven offers.’
Hello!
Bradford is big with lots of different people and places. It’s got everything a place needs to do well - tons of energy, loads of ideas and massive potential especially as we’re the UK’s youngest city. We are strongest when we have high levels of trust and everyone works with each other to get things done. The Diversity exchange brings people from different organisations and communities to help make our district a fairer place where everyone has the chance to do well and to be healthier and happier.
