AS a football club which has known highs and lows, City fully understand the positive impact a supportive community can have in difficult times.

But they know support is not always there for everyone. When that is the case, charities often plug the gap.

It can be lifesaving work. Literally.

So, when the opportunity to partner with Human Relief Foundation (HRF) - a local international humanitarian NGO which has been supporting individuals and communities affected by conflict, poverty or environmental disaster for 30 years - the Bantams were extremely keen to support their fantastic work.

Here is a little more information on HRF, the fantastic work they continues to perform, and how City aims to join them in helping people around the world.

GHANA

Life is hard in the Northern Region of Ghana - where poverty, economic instability, and water scarcity dog each day.

Education is makeshift, women and children spend hours every day collecting water for their families, and want is everywhere.

To give children a good educational start, and keep people healthy, City want to help build a school and playground, sink a deep tube well that will provide clean, safe, water, for everyone, and a football pitch for the community.

Achieving this will require HRF’s expertise, and the power of City fans - in an aid project that will transform a community in rural Ghana.

At £69,500, it is not cheap, but it is eminently doable. And the impact is massive.

In simple terms, if every 'Take Me Home' 2021/22 season-ticket holder contributed £5.47 each, it would be done in next-to-no time.

The Bantams will also be organising an overseas humanitarian aid deployment with HRF to assist Syrian refugees in Lebanon.

Led by HRF, and involving City staff, the club would like a select few fans to join them, particularly if you are looking to take an eyes-wide leap into the world of fundraising, and aid work.

It is an experience like no other, for you cross the divide between fundraiser and humanitarian aid worker.

When you have completed your fundraising, you will deploy abroad as a key member of the team - distributing essential aid to those in need.

Your week-long journey will provide you with a unique opportunity to see and hear, first-hand, how your fundraising efforts change lives.

HRF themselves added: "Bradford is our home. A home that has, since the early 90s, been the springboard for our humanitarian work.

"During these three decades, we have spent our time working on projects that relieve human suffering in some of the most deprived regions of the world.

"And some of the least deprived, for suffering and need are also found in more affluent countries.

"Our projects have covered the full spectrum of aid work, from the bread and butter of food programmes and emergency disaster response, to community support work.

"We work with an enviable list of humanitarian heavyweights, from the World Food Programme, to the UNHCR, UNICEF, the European Union, UN-Habitat, The World Health Organisation, and many others."
