John, Across the UK, voices of division are growing louder. They sow distrust and pit neighbour against neighbour, chipping away at the strength of our communities. They do this because they know that when people come together, across backgrounds, faiths and cultures, their hate doesn’t stand a chance. That’s why we’ve created Bradford Matters, a 12-page newspaper packed with local stories that celebrate unity, including: Mosques and churches working together Kids from every background painting murals side by side Shared meals bringing neighbours closer Girls’ cricket teams, youth clubs, community gardens.
It’s an act of defiance. A show of community strength, built on everyday solidarity and people looking out for one another. That spirit will only grow, with our local fun day expected to bring together as many as 8,000 people to celebrate everything Bradford has to offer. But first, we need to spread the word. Our plan is to deliver Bradford Matters through every single letterbox in the city, sharing stories of hope and inviting people to join us. But printing and delivering 100,000 copies isn’t cheap, and raising the funds is now our priority. We’re £5,000 short. But with your help, we can hit our target.
