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.

strengthen relationships with trusted adults

re-engage with learning and school life
