Why Bradford?

For too long, Bradford has had an unfair reputation, becoming an easy target for the media and the butt of too many jokes. We know the real Bradford, and we are proud to be a part of it.

 

Positive Bradford are a coalition of people from the district and city’s business, arts and education sectors who think it’s time to stand up and speak up for the Bradford we love. We are business people and entrepreneurs, artists and web designers. We are teachers and students, community organizers and parents. We were born here, grew up here, or chose to make Bradford our home or our business location.

 

This years Positive Bradford event will be taking place 22nd June 2012 in Centenary Square and City Park.  Although Positive Bradford is not the first district-wide campaign to attempt to tackle the negative images about the city, this effort is the first such initiative launched by local business people coming together in our own free time.

 

We invite you to help us celebrate the city we love and join us to build an even stronger, more sustainable community. We don’t attempt to speak on your behalf, but we hope that you will give us a chance to highlight some of what we love about living, working and visiting Bradford.

 

We are realistic about the districts strengths as well as areas we need to grow, and we want you to help us make our city even easier to love.
