20th July 2021 - "We are once again very grateful for your support. These funds will help us in our current work during the Covid 19 pandemic, in which we continue delivering hot meals and support to older vulnerable people and also as we are now slowly beginning to open our Community Cafe, Day Care and hopefully our other activities in the coming weeks and months."
11th August 2021 - "We, the management and staff here at The Light of the World Community Centre are extremely grateful for your consideration to award the Feed The Hungry Project [a grant].

Shine (West Bowling) and St Stephen's Church have partnered over the last 10 years to bring wellbeing in a number of areas (Social, Health, Inner, Natural, Economic) to the people of West Bowling and its locality [helped with a number of grants over many years from Bradford City Challenge Foundation].
Over this time work has grown to (pre-Covid) seeing over 250 individuals per week, accessing 20 sessions ranging from exercise classes for women, parenting help, budgeting support and job searching, English classes and refugee support, gardening, creative groups and more. We run a children's clothes bank, which is used by families and professionals across the city, and have been open throughout the pandemic offering food (over 1000 meals), activities to isolated individuals and families, ideas daily on Facebook, and one to one support, both via the phone and face to face for those that could not access that.
Founded by Adam Syrop, and with help from Bradford City Challenge Foundation grant funding, Impact Gamers is a CIC (Community Interest Company) that encourages young adults to be game makers as well as being just a game player. Commenting on "Bradford: The Game", Adam said that initial response to the game had been fantastic, with lots of fantastic ideas being put forward by local young people.
