Domestic Abuse Support
Welcome to the MHA Community Development webpage
Please see details of our Community Development team projects and activities supported by a range of different funders: Home Office, Ministry for Housing (Building Bridges Bradford), National Lottery COVID Response Fund (Fighting Fit), National Lottery Awards for All (Lets Get On), Sport England (Smashing Boundaries). We also have additional activities being delivered in the house as part of the Community Partnership Team, including Digital Inclusion.
Volunteer
All volunteering projects are on hold until further notice. The Community Engagement Team have had to make the difficult decision of placing all volunteering projects on hold (due to the current Covid lockdown restrictions) until March 2021.
Here at MHA, we are looking to our Bradford and Keighley communities to get involved in our new volunteer scheme which is about to launch.
The Xperience Volunteering Project (XVP) will initially run on a trial basis for six months with the objective of attracting 20 local people to fill voluntary roles with employers across the district, including MHA itself.
