Our Impact Report 2025/2026

20th May 2026

Welcome to our Impact Report for 2025/2026. It has been a different kind of year for Community Action Bradford & District. We have quickly flexed from an organisation relying on grant income to one providing support through a mix of contracts and income generation, alongside prudent use of our reserves.

In the summer of 2025, we reset our strategic direction and within our impact report you will find our renewed values, strategic themes and future intent.

Whilst we have seen the size of the team reduce over recent months, our ambition for and dedication to the sector has grown. We are grateful for everyone who has contacted us to receive a service, for those showing up at events, those joining networks and for all those who continue to read Briefing Bradford.

We hope our impact report gives you insight into the difference Community Action is making in the district and we look forward to seeing you through 2026/2027.

Through the report you will learn more about what we do, how we do it, and the difference this is making to VCSE organisations across the district.

Take a look at our Impact Report to find out more about what we’ve been up to.

We have also used this opportunity to refresh our impact measurement over the next year. We are taking additional steps to ensure the support we offer is really making a difference. What this means is we will be asking you to answer a couple of questions when you work with our Development Officers, and we will send you a short feedback survey when we do a piece of work with you.

We hope that you will take the couple of minutes to offer us feedback if this arrives in your inbox so that we can continuously evaluate and improve our services for you, and so that we can strengthen our own organisation.
