The Broadway, Bradford shopping centre has made a donation to the value of £750 to Inn Churches food bank. Inn Churches is a charity organisation that provides practical support to those who need it most across Bradford.

Providing a boost to Inn Churches’ food bank in the run-up to the festive season, the donation will support the charities’ two locations in Bradford; The Storehouse and also twenty two Shaw House.

Commenting is Ian Ward, general manager of The Broadway, Bradford. “Christmas is a time of giving. We are delighted to be able to offer support to such a great charity. At The Broadway, we pride ourselves on being heavily involved in the local community. We wanted to support a service that is close to our hearts.

“Having used the Centre as a base for the temporary food hub during the height of the pandemic, myself and the team at The Broadway sought to find a way to continue to make this vital service possible as we approach Christmas.”

Inn Churches is part of the steering group for Feeding Bradford and Keighley.

It works across both Bradford and Keighley to try and coordinate food provision and ensure that everybody who needs food can access it; whatever their circumstances.

Also commenting is Gary Peacock, centre manager at Inn Churches. “We’re extremely grateful for such a generous donation from the team at The Broadway. The items will go a long way to supporting the local community at such a demanding time of year.”

Inn Churches works to tackle poverty in the region. It supports more than 100 community groups by providing emergency food supplies to vulnerable people in Bradford, including those sheltering, the elderly and other vulnerable people.
