discover science A spectacle of science is coming to Bradford this month as the British Science Festival presents a packed programme of free events, talks and presentations.

BY haigh simpson

T

his month Bradford will host the British Science Festival for the fourth time in its 184 year history, giving residents and visitors access to some of the brightest minds in modern science through a series of workshops, exhibitions, talks and lectures.

The festival programme covers everything from artificial inteligence to Indian fashion via methane leaks and stinky bottoms! And best of all it’s all free. We caught up with two of the key figures behind this year’s event to find out a bit more about the festival and what it means to Bradford.

Ivvet Modinou (IM) is Head of Engagement at the British Science Association, and her team is responsible for managing all the BSA’s activities and events for public audiences, including the annual British Science Festival.

Emma Bridge (EB) is Head of Communications at the University of Bradford - she was involved in managing the successful 2011 Festival and is a key player in the delivery and promotion of this year’s event.

First of all can you tell us a bit about the British Science Festival...

places in bars, shops, theatres and museums in the city centre. Immediately afterwards, the Festival Fringe will run from 11 - 18 September featuring family fun activities and a schools programme.”

Why have you chosen to hold the event in Bradford this year and what are you hoping the city will bring to the event?

IM: “The city has a rich scientific, industrial and cultural heritage, and the University of Bradford is a leading science and technology university so it’s the perfect place to host us.

This year, we’ve been particularly excited to work with local “The city businesses in the Independent has a rich Quarter and the West End, to bring out some of the hidden scientific, science within our hobbies and industrial interests – like music, fashion, tech etc. Look out for events and cultural every night in everywhere from heritage, and Bombay Stores and the newly opened Bier Keller to the National the University Media Museum and Waterstones.”

of Bradford is a leading science and technology university so it’s the perfect place to host us.”

IM: “The British Science Festival has been running since 1831 and travels to a different city each year.

We aim to shine a spotlight on that city and the local region, especially its heritage and the cutting edge research and innovation going on there. This year, we’re in Bradford from 7 – 10 September. Across the four days of the British Science Festival there are more than 100 events covering many different aspects of science. We have events throughout the day on topics as diverse as health, technology and sport to dinosaurs, space and the arts. After dark we have an exciting series of events taking

The festival has been around for over 150 years, can you tell us a little bit about its history and in particular its connections to Bradford...

IM: “This is our 184th year. We came to Bradford in 1873 (the 43rd festival), 1900 (our 70th meeting), and, most recently, were hosted by the University in 2011.

Some of the topics we discussed at those early Festivals – such as space science, the history of our own planet, the teaching of science in schools and the impact of alcohol – would be just as relevant today.

Meanwhile, this year there are lots of great events that shine a light on the research being done at the University and also celebrate Bradford and the local area. Visit www.britishsciencefestival.org for full details and booking.”

The festival has managed to have a huge impact on popular science over the years, what would you say is its greatest achievement and what is the best invention or theory to have made its first public appearance at the event?

“The Festival has been host to the announcement of many major scientific advances over its long history.”

IM: “The Festival has been host to the announcement of many major scientific advances over its long history. Examples include Joule’s experiments on the mechanical equivalent of heat in the 1840s, the discovery of the first of the inert gases, argon, by Rayleigh and Ramsay (1894), and J.J. Thomson’s discovery of the electron (1899).

My favourite fact is that the dinosaur officially got its name at one of our Festival meetings!”

EB: “More recently, at the British Science Festival in 2011 the University unveiled its ‘smart bomb’, a new cancer treatment derived from colchicine, a natural compound occurring in the autumn crocus plant, indigenous in the UK. This was a really big story and received a lot of attention from the media. After this

the Bradford Crocus Cancer Appeal was launched which underpinned the University’s on-going commitment to take these types of cancer drug discoveries from the lab to the clinic. The appeal recently hit its target, enabling new cancer drug discovery work to take place in the city, following the purchase of a new cutting-edge proteomics mass spectrometer, now installed at the University’s Institute of Cancer Therapeutics.

The equipment will allow researchers to analyse proteins in cancer cells at a much quicker rate, improving the number of opportunities for the development of new cancer medicines.”

Who is the festival aimed at and how can people get involved?

IM “The Festival is aimed at anyone over 16 who is curious about finding out more about science, technology, health, medicine, engineering, manufacturing, the environment

Left: Ivvett Modinou introduces an event at British Science week Right: A gruesome performance from the 2011 festival What is the most impressive thing you have ever seen at the British Science Festival?

EB: “I saw Dame Ellen MacArthur present her vision on Science of a Circular Economy at Bradford in 2011. I remember being really amazed by the event and her vision really impressed me. It helped me to understand how businesses should look at how their products are made, sold and then discarded, each time using finite resources.

The Re:Centre at the University of Bradford is home to the Northern Office of The Ellen MacArthur Foundation and, in partnership with the foundation, our Faculty of Management and Law developed the world’s first MBA in Innovation, Enterprises and Circular Economy.”

Finally, who is your favourite scientist past or present and why? and the natural world. If you’re a fan of science or nature books, TV or documentaries, there will be something for you. Perhaps you’re more interested in exploring another side of art, fashion, music, and the city itself... well there are plenty of events for you too! The Festival Fringe is aimed at schools and family audiences. All tickets are free, and people can book online at www.britishsciencefestival.org” How do you decide on the content for Festival and is there anything in particular you are looking forward to this year?

IM “We put the programme together with the University of Bradford, our 16 Scientific Sections and other national partners. This year, we have curated more than 100 events from across the scientific spectrum, taking place over four days on the University campus and throughout the city. It’s a really rich and varied programme that will stimulate, inspire and provoke – we think there is something for everyone and hope to see you there!”

IM: “Someone I really admire at the moment is neuroscientist Professor Gina Rippon.

She debunks myths about the differences between the male and female brain. We’ve got a great event called ‘Women and the trouble with science’, which Gina will be speaking at on the evening of 8 September.”

EB: “I work with loads of amazing scientists at the University of Bradford every day. Through my work I like to look at the way people communicate science and bring it to life, and I don’t think anyone has done that better than the incredible Sir David Attenborough. In 1998 the University gave him an Honorary Degree for his contribution as a broadcaster and a writer.”

The British Science Festival will take place from 7-10 September. To find out more and book tickets visit: www.britishsciencefestival.org. The British Science Festival is supported by Siemens and hosted by the University of Bradford.

“It’s all about awareness, for people to get involved and have fun as well.

It’s all about getting adults back on their bikes!”

get on yer bike City Park hosts a celebration of cycling with stunt performers, spectacular displays and educational workshops keeping the youthful crowds entertained.

BY philip lickley One sunny day - a dream for cyclists and Bradfordians who descended on City Park’s mirror pool to make the most of it - we got an exciting Cyclefest run by Go:Cycling in the shadow of City Hall, following on from recent huge events like the Tour De France and Tour De Yorkshire.

Cyclefest was a collaboration between the West Yorkshire Combined Authority and Pennine Events. I spoke to Jemma Crossen from Pennine Events who gave me a flavour of the event. “It’s all about awareness, for people to get involved and have fun as well. It’s all about getting adults back on their bikes!”

Andrew after they went head-to-head in a highjump challenge, clearing over four feet on their bikes from a standing start, an impressive feat to watch. They remarked on Bradford’s terrain being suitable for such practice. “Everyone seems happy and enjoying themselves and it’s a lot busier than I was expecting, especially for a weekday.”

Cyclefest was a great chance for people of the city to rediscover their bikes and the younger residents to be able to jump on a bike for the first time, whether to ride or to power a smoothie whilst enjoying the mirror pool. Local resident Philip had come down with friends to see the family film on the City Park big screen and enjoy the mirror Features of Cyclefest included free cycle pool, and visited the displays as well. “We’ve training and maintenance, information stands, just come out for the day and we’ve loved it. We maintenance sessions including a stripped down loved the water feature and the smoothie bike.” bike to re-build, a pedal-powered smoothie maker and craft activities for the young visitors, Concluding our trip round the buzzing event Jemma all alongside live music from a DJ. There were summed up the benefits. “Cycling is important also adapted bikes being used in a special generally for health but I think particularly area, allowing people of all abilities to be able in the West Yorkshire districts we’ve found to cycle, including some for disabled riders. people really have a thirst for it at the moment!”

David Roberts of Pennine Events, there to help service bikes as part of Dr. Bike, summed up the ethos behind the event. “We’ve been asked by local authorities with money from the Department of Transport, to get everyone on their bikes, from children to adults.”

Jemma was also keen to reach out to people who may not have cycled before. “Do it, get a bike! It doesn’t have to be the best bike ever. Think about where you want to cycle, and speak to somebody.

There’s lots of projects that can hire bikes out.

I think it’s really just about biting the bullet.

Go and get one and see where you end up!”

ind the Gap is England’s largest learning disability theatre company, internationally renowned, and one of Bradford’s many hidden gems. Born and bred in Bradford, the company is 28 years old and has almost always been in Manningham, where it now has its permanent home - Mind the Gap Studios - in the beautiful Lister Mills development.

We work in partnership with learning-disabled artists to deliver a bold, cutting-edge and worldclass artistic programme that impacts locally, nationally and internationally. Making work that excites, surprises and challenges audiences. Our aim is to produce great theatre to make audiences think differently. By ‘theatre’ we don’t just mean shows you can see in arts and theatre venues, but also performances and events in different spaces and places.

out of the ordinary Meet the man linking Bradford locations with writers and artists through an interesting and accessible course, Good Companions.

BY john bromley

T

he Bradford area has been a source of outstanding literature for at least two centuries. This creativity has often been profoundly influenced by the environment out of which it evolved, a significant example being Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte.

Bob Butroyd has made the links between literature, art and places meaningful in his own life, including Rotherham, Sheffield and Scunthorpe and, more recently, Bradford. I met Bob to find out how his Good Companions Around project came about.

School. That’s what got me really fascinated by so-called ordinary lives and what so-called ordinary people can achieve in so-called ordinary places.

You’re teaching a new WEA adult learning course, Good Companions: Sharing your passion for inspirational people from Bradford. What’s the basic outline and approach of the course?

It’s an interactive course. People will share and develop their own interest in Bradford writers and artists, linking them to related locations and sharing these passions through methods they choose - oral, written, photographic or audiovisual media. Or from other locations if they wish. There’s already a maverick interested in the course who wants to explore the inspirational writers small and artists from Shropshire!

John: Bob, you’re an economist who has strayed into what we might call culture - or popular culture. What’s your particular view of culture?

“In a Bob: I have a background in economic history, education and way I want action research. They have one thing in common, the search for it to fight and development of what people against the find important in life. What they value, and why. Economics is all idea that about what people value. Culture the North is is a huge subject. There’s plenty of it about! My approach to full of crap culture is through beliefs, values towns.” and behaviour.

What first drew you to work with culture?

Get Carter, by Ted Lewis. I was a bored youth living in what I was told were boring places, namely Scunthorpe and Rotherham. And I believed what I was told when I was young. I couldn’t wait to get away. Then I found out that Get Carter, filmed in Newcastle, was actually all about and set in Scunthorpe. I couldn’t believe it. Rotherham was a mining area, and I found all these fantastic novels had been written about the pit villages I went to school in, drank in, courted in, that were on my doorstep. But the final thing that got me interested was the work of Tariq Mehmood. He had been a pupil at Tong School.

I had worked there in the mid 80s and early 90s, after he’d left, and I found he had written Hand on the Sun, and a large part of it is about Tong

Who is the course for?

Anyone with a passion for some aspect of art, or literature, or music, or architecture, or history, or people, and who wants to share that passion. You don’t have to be an expert. We want people to share how they see things, not how a professional might see them. To get more idea of what it’s about have a look at my website, www. goodcompanionsaround.com where there’s also a WEA course page.

What do you think your course can add to the Pride Of Place initiative that’s taking root in Bradford?

There’s a series of books called Crap Towns, and they can be funny in a way but it all adds to the idea that some people are living lives that are worth less than others. In a small way I hope this course promotes what people in Bradford are good at. In a small way I want it to fight against the idea that the North is full of crap towns.

If you’re interested in the WEA Good Companions course led by Bob, enrolment can be made at www.wea. org.uk/courses or by telephoning WEA on 0113 245 3304.

the last match A new play by Bradford-based writer Colin Philpott tells the story of the last match, a game of cricked played out while the world prepared to change forever. by sue denim

Sport and art seem to inhabit different worlds but Bradford audiences will get the chance to see them collide when a new, innovative short drama about the very last day of cricket before the Second World War is staged in September The Last Match is based on the events of Friday 1 September 1939 – the day Germany invaded Poland, children were evacuated from cities across Britain and troops mobilised before Britain declared war two days later. Despite these momentous events the cricketers of Yorkshire and Sussex decided to finish their three-day county championship cricket match at Hove even though other games elsewhere were called off as news came through of the German invasion.

The new drama captures the surreal atmosphere of that day at Hove as a game of cricket continued amidst a collapsing world. It explores how people react in times of crisis, differing responses to duty and sacrifice at such times and it also recalls the astonishing performance on the field in what proved to be the final match ever played by one of Yorkshire’s greatest players, Hedley Verity.

Monkman, whose first feature film The Knife That Killed Me was released this year, was attracted to the project because he believes it transcends cricket. “When we piloted a trial version of it in Scarborough last summer, it seemed to get a good reaction both from cricket fans and non-cricket fans alike.”

The production contains film and poetry, runs for about forty minutes and will be performed twelve times in late August and September at venues in Sussex and Yorkshire including Bradford.

Philpott is producing and Monkman is directing.

“The new drama captures the surreal atmosphere of that day at Hove as a game of cricket continued amidst a collapsing world.”

The drama is the brainchild of Bradford-based Colin Philpott, former director of the National Media Museum and previously head of BBC Yorkshire, who now runs the lobbying group Bradford Breakthrough as well as his own creative consultancy.

“I’ve always been fascinated by what it must have been like that day at Hove with people clinging on to the last vestiges of peace by enjoying a day of cricket at the seaside.

It feels a bit like Drake playing bowls on Plymouth Hoe as the Armada advanced up the Channel” says Philpott, who wrote the drama with friend and film director Kit Monkman.

The Bradford performances will take place in the David Hockney Theatre at Bradford Grammar School at 4.15pm and 6.30pm on Wednesday 23 September.

They’re open to anyone and tickets are available from the school but can be accessed via the project website at www. thelastmatch.com The evening performance in Bradford will be followed by a short discussion with Philpott and Monkman about the story behind the play.

Performances have already taken place at cricket grounds including Hove, the ground where the original match took place, as well as at Yorkshire’s home ground of Headingley on 1 September (the anniversary of the game).

“Many people think that Hedley Verity is simply a pub in Leeds. We think he’s something of an unsung hero and we hope that the story of his last match can be more widely known through this play. It’s a story which speaks to a cricketing audience but also, we believe, to wider audiences interested in history and in how people deal with moments of crisis.”

What’s the scariest thing you’ve done for a TV programme?

Sitting on a twitchy horse as the world’s largest Brazilian cattle herd decide to break rank and stampede past was pretty terrifying!

What’s on your TV presenting ‘to do list’- is

therecordcafe.co.uk there anything you’d like to do, or anyone you really would like to work with?

@therecordcafe My list is long and extensive. I have wide ranging interests. In an age of obsessive

facebook/therecordcafe specialisation this is sometimes ‘remarked

upon’ which is a dreadful shame. The Ascent Of Man by Jacob Bronowski is still television’s greatest science series to which we all aspire. If Tomorrow’s World ever returned to our screens I would lobby hard to be in the line up. Werner Herzog is high on my list of fantasy people to work with. He has a wonderful way of interpreting the world. I want to try and make interesting, entertaining, thought provoking, popular telly that people want to watch that isn’t measured by brow height.

Futuro de Hierro

26th July @Brunel Rooms, New Bradford playhouse By steve walsh Since being appointed Fellow in Music at Bradford University in 2012, Bradford-based musician and artist Andy Abbott has played a key role in helping to focus the city’s music culture into what now constitutes a formidable presence in the cultural life of the region.

Abbott has utilised his cachet in the DIY music culture of West Yorkshire to bring prominent musicians and bands from the national and international community to the city via specific events, principally Threadfest and Recon, the latter in conjunction with another regional DIY arts facilitator, Lumen Arts. He has also used venues that have a specific resonance with the history and culture of Bradford. This gig neatly covered all these aspects by being the second in a new series under the M@BU (Music @ Bradford University) banner at new venue the Brunel Rooms, and by providing an opportunity for local musicians to rub shoulders with more internationally renowned musicians in their particular field.

It featured three solo artists known principally for their associations with other bands, here given a platform to exhibit alternative aspects of their musical art. Game_Program is Jon Nash playing a bank of analogue synthesizers to create beatdriven loops of varying intensity and complexity.

Nash is a key figure in the Leeds DIY music scene, being the guitarist in Cowtown, longstanding stalwarts of that scene. He plays drums for Hookworms, a band associated with the

recent Psyche Rock upsurge and gaining national recognition, and Nope, a Krautrock-style trio/ quartet that includes Abbott as its guitarist. This kind of involvement in multiple projects across a range of musical genres is typical of the activities of musicians involved in the DIY music scene.

While Game_Program delivers some eminently listenable music, there’s a sense in which this particular Jon Nash enterprise remains a work in progress.

By contrast Melting produces a series of linked, song-length pieces from a single laptop that sound like compositions from a fully developed musical mind. Melting is in fact Esme Newman, a guitarist and singer with a small but significant presence in Leeds, principally as a member of the now defunct Etai Keshiki and now in noise punk trio Commiserations. Newman usually brings a powerful energy and strong sense of performance to her music, so it’s unusual to see her calmly contemplating a laptop screen. Each piece is formed around a simple, core idea which is then subtly developed to maintain interest but without swamping that original idea. If anything unites the pieces it’s the presence of deep, pulsing bass frequencies but aside from that there’s much variety and invention - from doom metal-like drones, to crisp and lively beats - and a welcome strain of sonic playfulness and fun.

Barcelona’s Víctor Hurtado has a significant but relatively low-key presence in European avant garde music circles by dint of his collaborations

MIke Wilson & Damien Barber 3rd september @glyde house, bradford By joe grint After our usual break from guest artist nights in August we’re starting our autumn season off in fine style. On later Thursdays in September we’ll be welcoming local legend Roger Davies (10 September), the hugely talented Becky Mills (17 September) and national treasure Jez Lowe (24 September) to entertain our audiences.

We start our superb line up on 3 September with two of the finest exponents of traditional song in the United Kingdom.

Mike Wilson and Damien Barber have a rich shared repertoire of traditional material plus the work of modern folk writers such as Peter Bellamy, Ewan MacColl and Mike Waterson.

Raised in Norfolk and heavily influenced and associations with UK experimental band Nurse With Wound and German art-noise legends Einstürzende Neubauten. So, while Hurtado seems to be a natural collaborator, Futuro de Hierro is his solo project. His basic tools are the distorted noise and effects drawn from his collection of electronic devices both old and new. While many practitioners in the harsh noise field value endurance and discomfort as part of the listening experience, Hurtado has a natural exuberance and elan that invests a kind of liberating joy in his take on what is undoubtedly extreme music. Although spoken in Spanish his slogan-like vocals sound like a rallying cry for a

by such earlier Norfolk singers as Walter Pardon and Bellamy, Damien is a stylish and distinctive singer, either unaccompanied or using guitar or concertina. He is also leader of the hugely successful Demon Barbers collective.

Mike Wilson is the youngest member of the Wilson Family, Teesside’s powerful singing siblings who have raised the rafters at many a festival or folk club event and have recently worked with Sting and appeared at the BBC Proms at the Royal Albert Hall.

Tickets for all the nights are available on the door and we would recommend people get down to Glyde House early to secure a good seat. We look forward to seeing you there! noble cause, and the thundering beats give the roil of noise a structure that pulls it back to more recognisable forms. The end of the set is greeted with a genuine burst of cheering and applause from a clearly delighted, if small, audience which makes a change from the kind of chin stroking, ear poking and desultory clapping that is a feature of the end of too many harsh noise gigs.

The M@BU residency at Brunel Rooms continues throughout the rest of the summer with a similarly eclectic mix of the great and the good from the DIY music scene around this country and from overseas.

The 24 Hour Show @the bradford Playhouse, October 9

By Megan Murray What’s the most fun you can have in 24 hours? The Bradford Playhouse presents The 24 Hour Show!

The 24 Hour Show begins on Friday 9 October at 7pm with the reveal. The title is announced to the cast and crew and the fun begins. Auditions take place, the cast is decided, rehearsals begin and then it’s the hard part - learning songs and lines, perfecting blocking and giving our all for the performance of a lifetime.

Whilst the cast start rehearsals the crew go to work. Set plans are finalised and the build begins, lighting is rigged and focused, sound effects recorded, costumes fitted and props manufactured, but will the paint dry in time?

We get to Saturday - at 7pm the house opens, the audience start to arrive and quiet descends, the calm before the storm. The question on the audience’s lips – what is the show?

The 24 Hour Show continues to be one of the highlights of the Bradford Playhouse’s year and we would love you to come and join us. To get involved either come to the Bradford Playhouse, Little Germany, on Friday 9 October at 7pm (over 16s only) or support us by coming along to watch at 7:30pm on Saturday 10 October.

We understand it’s a big ask of our audience to come to a show when you don’t know what it is before you arrive, but how can you go wrong?

We look forward to seeing you there and hope you enjoy the show as much as we do. Please see www.24hrshow.co.uk For more information please contact Megan Murray, Theatre Company’s Manager 07542 950590, megan@ bradfordplayhouse.co.uk or Ric Neild, 24hr show codirector, 07794 141791, ric@24hrshow.co.uk

a firm of poets 1st october @theatre in the mill

By rachel kaye A Firm Of Poets are offering a poetry night with a twist when they visit Theatre In The Mill on Thursday 1 October. The four poets will not only be performing a mixture of spoken word pieces but are also encouraging budding poets to appear on stage for the first time. The Firm will be holding a workshop on the afternoon of the performance, offering local poets advice and techniques on how to perfect their craft. The poets will then be invited to perform during the show that evening.

Ralph Dartford, a founding member of A Firm Of Poets said: “The Firm have been performing for a while but this is the first time we’ve involved the audience in this way. We can’t wait to meet the poets in the workshops before the show and help them perform in front of an audience on the night.”

A Firm Of Poets is Ralph Dartford and Matt Abbott, joined in Bradford by fellow poets Genevieve Walsh and John Darwin. A cross between a poetic super group and Whose Line Is It Anyway, the show is fast-paced, creating a fun and entertaining night out. The group’s aim is to create The People’s Republic Of Poetry – a network of spoken word performers throughout the UK. Work performed by the participants will also be added to an online e-book, which

will grow as the tour travels around the country.

Ralph Dartford writes narrative poems from the heart, sometimes funny, sometimes bittersweet, sometimes sad as a lost dog. Ralph has been published in the Guardian, Stirring Magazine (US), Pulp Faction, Exterminating Angel Press (US) and London Territories. His first collection, Cigarettes, Beer and Love was published by Ossett Observer Presents in 2013. Ralph Dartford studied creative writing under the tutelage of the late Michael Donaghy at Birkbeck College, where he received a First.

Matt Abbott is a self styled punk poet, lyricist and frontman for the band Skint & Demoralised.

He has performed hundreds of gigs worldwide, from Norwich to New York and Barnsley to Berlin. His lyrics with S&D gained national acclaim from Sunday Times Culture, the Times, the Guardian and the Independent. Championed by the BBC’s Steve Lamacq, Matt has read alongside Carol Ann Duffy, Kate Tempest, John Cooper Clarke, Luke Wright, Mike Garry, Tim Clare, Helen Mort and Rommi Smith.

A Firm Of Poets are appearing on 1 October at Theatre In The Mill, off Shearbridge Road, Bradford, BD7 1DP.

The latest programme is called Champions Show The Way (CSTW), which is a part of The Bradford District Care Trust/NHS. It gives people support to run activities out and about in the community, the activities all have some link to health such as relaxation sessions, walking groups, art classes, some of which support physical health and mental health.

How did you get involved in this line of work?

sarah jane naylor QUICK-FIRE QUESTIONs

Who are you and what do you do?

I’m Sarah Jane Naylor and I’m a community development worker and a community health officer. I have a long term love for the cooperative movement and have, over the years, enjoyed learning from previous involvement in Bradford’s member-run social centre the 1in12 and from living for quite a few years in the Hive, a Radical Routes Cooperative.

What’s your relationship with Bradford?

I was born here, though five years in Scotland and a year in sunny Devon have affected my accent a little. I’ve got a connection to Bradford’s industrial recent past through my grandparents, who both came here after WW2 and met through work at Listers Mill. My Mum and Dad (who are ace and very creative) are Bradford born too.

Can you tell us a bit more about your latest projects?

As a community health worker I get to oversee some really great activities in the community.

Bradford Review

Most of my working life has been spent as a community food grower and a horticulture therapist, and my career path started out with volunteering, which is a great way to learn. I eventually became interested in community work more generally and wanted to see how i would go on as a community development worker role, so went for it, got into it and I have learnt a lot. The voluntary sector is going through a really tough time and many organisations and community centres are really struggling for funding. I feel those cooperative aspects of the Bradford community will become even more important.

What are your hopes for the next generation of Bradfordians?

I hope that the voluntary sector, with its many important projects and organisations manages to find the resilience to stay open in the face of ridiculous cuts and I hope that they are financially supported somehow. I also hope that the younger generation will give some support to projects like Horton Community Farm and the many other great projects in the City all doing their own thing to make it an even better place to live and learn.

The Champions Show the Way Programme can be found online at www.bdct.nhs.uk/cstw or you can contact our team by email champions@bdct.nhs.uk or phone 01274 321911.
