Since 1995 the African Caribbean Achievement Project (ACAP) has been at the forefront of promoting educational achievement, health improvements, cultural pride and empowerment for children, young people, and communities of African and Caribbean descent.

The funding has enabled the African Caribbean Achievement Project to transform its space into an arts and culture centre. The investment into ACAP included preserving the building and making it more sustainable. This included a new roof, guttering, renovated electrics and a heating system.

The centre can now function as an engaging cultural hub, offering space for activities and events in music, dance, visual and digital arts, drama and storytelling. With an education focus, it will not only provide the community with opportunities to learn and grow artistically, but it also intends to serve as a testament to Bradford’s shared heritage, instilling a sense of pride and fostering a deeper understanding of cultural diversity in the arts.

Bradford Bulls are a historic professional rugby league club with deep roots in the city and a strong commitment to community engagement. Alongside elite sport, the club supports a wide range of social and wellbeing activity through its charitable foundation, including inclusive sport, mental health support, youth engagement and community programmes that extend well beyond match days and reach diverse audiences across Bradford.

The investment has led to a new community room, a large LED stadium screen and an extended gantry, which is used by cheerleaders, a dementia cafe and Andy’s Men’s Club.

Set in the picturesque village of Haworth against the stunning landscape of the Yorkshire moors, Haworth Parsonage was the home of the Brontë family from 1820 to 1861 and the place where Charlotte, Emily and Anne Brontë wrote their great novels: Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall. Now the Brontë Parsonage Museum, it houses the world’s largest collection of Brontë manuscripts, furniture, clothes and personal possessions and offers an inspirational and evocative experience for people of all ages.

The Brontë Parsonage Museum has now been made more accessible with new fully accessible toilets and changing facilities, the first toilets the museum has been able to offer visitors since it opened in 1928. The building includes four individual self-contained cubicles, one accessible toilet for people in wheelchairs or with prams that includes baby changing facilities and an award-winning Changing Places toilet (CPT). CPTs benefit from more space and specific equipment including a hoist, moveable changing bed and wash down facility. This is the only one of its kind in the local area.

Built using local contractors (Whitaker & Leach) and locally sourced suppliers and materials, the new facilities also feature a sedum planted ‘green’ roof to promote biodiversity.

With history dating back almost a century, Ilkley Playhouse has approximately 600 members including patrons and actors, and the theatre produces eight main house plays every season. Since its inception, Ilkley Playhouse has become one of leading non-professional community theatres in the country.

The investment into Ilkley Playhouse allowed for the repair of three vitally important lifts that allow the venue to continue to be accessible to a diverse audience, members and patrons. The grant also enabled them to modernise the main passenger lift, which provides access to the venue from street level to the box office, coffee bar and above to the main Wharfeside Theatre.
