In light of the current economic crisis, charities face greater pressure as they strive to deliver essential services and meet growing demand for the communities they serve. In this episode we take a look at the effects of the cost of living crisis on local communities, and the ever-increasing demand for philanthropic giving.

We’re also joined by Azim Kidwai, CEO of Mercy Mission and newly elected Chair of GiveBradford to share his experience of giving within his role in Bradford and Indi Elcock, project coordinator from The Anchor Project who engage with and support some the most marginalised, vulnerable and isolated people in inner-city Bradford, to improve community wellbeing and integration.

GiveBradford distributes vital grants and gives trusted advice to Community Organisations across the District to influence positive change. Driven by creating meaningful social impact for hundreds of local people every year.

GiveBradford generates philanthropic giving and leverages statutory funding to deliver grants that address specific challenges. This opens up vulnerable and often marginalised communities to a wealth of opportunities including skills, health, education, culture and employment.

Our work goes beyond funding alone as it also provides resources that Community Organisations would otherwise struggle to access. As an organisation focused on creating a fair and inclusive society, GiveBradford works alongside each group to address inequalities and create opportunities.
