Mixed method evaluator for the Bradford for Everyone Programme (reissue)

Bradford District has been selected by the Government as one of five national Integration Areas for an ambitious programme of work as part of its Integrated Communities Strategy.

The vision of the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) is to 'build strong integrated communities where people, whatever their background, live, work and socialise together, based on shared rights, responsibilities and opportunities.' MHCLG is keen to work closely with local authorities that have already demonstrated a keen grasp of the challenges they face and shown a desire to try new things to meet the needs of local residents - hence why they approached Bradford District.

Over the two years of the programme, we hope to create the conditions for more integration between Bradford District's diverse communities. The vision for the programme is 'of a place where everyone feels that they belong, are understood, feel safe and can fully participate in the opportunities the District offers.'

Through the programme, we hope to create the right conditions for the District's diverse communities to feel comfortable to make connections with other people from backgrounds different to their own and to feel that they belong here in Bradford District - and that other groups belong here too.
