About this Event

Co-Valuation Group Workshops – Help Shape Bradford’s Story of Value

As Bradford 2025 comes to a close, we would like to invite you to the final conversation about what the year has meant for Bradford's people, communities and organisations.

This workshop forms part of the Bradford 2025 Social Value Impact Assessment being delivered by Making Impact Matter.

Over the past two years we have been speaking with residents, volunteers, artists, community organisations, participants and stakeholders across the district. We are now bringing together emerging findings to sense-check, challenge and refine them with the people who know Bradford best.

The session will explore questions including:

• What difference has Bradford 2025 made?
• What has worked particularly well?
• What impact has been felt by communities?
• What should happen next?
• What legacy should Bradford build upon?

We are particularly interested in exploring findings relating to:

• Happier
• Connected
• Proud

The workshop will be interactive and informal. No preparation is required.

Your insights will directly inform the final Bradford 2025 Social Value Impact Assessment.

Why your voice matters
