Beckfoot Trust is an organisation that links a group of local Bradford schools together so that they can collectively improve the life chances for young people within their schools. Our aim is to create a group of truly remarkable schools each with a genuine comprehensive intake. They will be wonderful places for young people to learn and grow up in. We want to make a difference. We want to create something special.

Schools Pandemic Recovery Summit

What is it for?

We want to bring schools in Bradford together for a two hour summit for three reasons:

  1. To better understand the impact of the pandemic on young people in Bradford

  2. To explain more clearly the support young people need to those in Bradford who can do something about it

  3. To start something bigger by working with Citizens UK to be a part of their West Yorkshire Mayoral Election Assembly, which will involve asking the mayoral candidates to agree to work with us to implement our agenda

Manifesto


Citizens UK and the Mayoral elections

The schools summit is supported by Citizens UK. Citizens UK is a community organising charity that brings together schools, religious institutions, and other community groups to ask for changes on a local level in different cities across the UK including London, Leeds, Manchester and Nottingham. After the summit, young people from Bradford will go forward to Citizens UK's assembly for the West Yorkshire Mayoral candidates, to ask them to support the ideas they come up with.

If the summit is successful, we would like to explore establishing a Citizens alliance in Bradford to make this work more permanent. You can find out more about Citizens UK at www.citizensuk.org
