What is Bradford City Challenge Foundation Ltd?
The Foundation is the successor body to Bradford City Challenge which was set up to manage Bradford’s successful bid for government funding to regenerate the South East sector of Bradford. Government funding ceased in March 1997, but the Foundation has some annual income available for community projects each year.
