BCB (Bradford Community Broadcasting)

BCB (Bradford Community Broadcasting) is a volunteer-led, community organisation that uses engagement with Community Radio as a tool for personal development, community empowerment and social change.

BCB provides the Community Radio station for Bradford and has successfully worked at the heart of communities since 1994, supporting local people to be active in their community, the city, and to have a voice in the media. BCB has over 200 active volunteers from Bradford’s diverse communities, mostly serving as volunteer broadcasters, or studio managers supporting the work of others. BCB has a small staff team that offers training and support to volunteers. We particularly engage people from marginalised or disadvantaged communities including refugees, older people, global majority communities, women, LGBTQ+, mental health service users, young people, carers, and people with disabilities, actively encouraging their participation in BCB.

QED Foundation

QED Foundation is a national organisation with roots in Bradford, founded in 1990 to advance the social and economic integration of refugees, new arrivals and established ethnic minority communities. We have supported more than 40,000 people from 26 nationalities to develop skills, build confidence and participate more fully in British society. Bradford Arts Centre is our head office, where we deliver local programmes and coordinate work with community partners across the country. Our provision includes English and digital skills, employability, mentoring, financial literacy and health and wellbeing support. QED has extensive networks across the UK and Commonwealth countries, connecting community organisations, employers, universities and public bodies. We work with the public and private sectors to help them engage more effectively with ethnic minority communities as employees, customers and service users, improving understanding and access to opportunities. Drawing on community experience, we also inform policy and help smaller voluntary organisations strengthen their capacity, contributing to a more cohesive and prosperous society.
