Great session in the Park on Saturday, children and parents from the local Madrassa joined in for a game of cricket. It's always a pleasure to be part of such great initiatives @ayra_najeeb @Nasiba_Siddig #PhysicalActivities #ActiveBradford #GreenSpaces #Sports #KeepingActive
Our community engagement manager @Nasiba_Siddig plans physical activities with health champions in Madrassas. As a result, girls and boys from ethnic minorities spend time in green spaces over the weekends.

Our culture prizes positivity over emotional truth. At the heart of it, a failure to acknowledge difficult emotions through forced, false positivity, is a failure to see ourselves. An unseeing of our humanity.
