Move Together Bradford
Early Intervention Mentoring + Movement

Creating Positive Change
Helping children feel better, move more, and thrive in school
A supportive programme for children aged 7–12 combining mentoring, active games and family workshops — delivered through local schools in Bradford.

The Programme
Move Together Bradford, supports children who are finding things tough — behaviour challenges, low confidence, emotional regulation difficulties, or weight and wellbeing concerns.
We create safe, welcoming school-based spaces where children can:
-
take part in fun, active games

get structured mentoring support
-
strengthen relationships with trusted adults
-
re-engage with learning and school life
