Some of the district’s most talented young people have picked up awards at a special ceremony.

Bradford Council Youth Service’s B-talented programme has been celebrating the success of 14 of its graduates who have given 30 hours a week over the past 40 weeks to gain skills and support others through volunteering.

Everyone who took part wanting to develop a career with children or in social work got a qualification at or above NVQ level 2.

Volunteers devoted their time to a wide range of activities, which included working in youth clubs, district-wide work with young people with disabilities, and supporting Children’s Centres, the Looked After Children’s Team and the Youth Offending Team.
