Bradford City FC is taking significant steps to engage women and diverse communities in football. The club's community arm has partnered with the Yorkshire Women's Forum to encourage more women, girls, and individuals from various backgrounds to attend matches at Valley Parade. This initiative kicks off with a special fashion show later this summer, showcasing creations made from upcycled materials by women who benefit from the charity's services. Lizzie Saunderson-Trowell, chief operating officer at Bradford City Community Foundation, emphasized that this partnership aims to demonstrate that football is about more than just the game; it’s about community and inclusivity. Surveys conducted by the club revealed a need for greater female representation and engagement from non-white British communities. This collaboration with the Yorkshire Women's Forum is a natural fit, as it seeks to make football more accessible and welcoming to all. The upcoming fashion show will feature the Sewcialise project, which focuses on textile recycling, and aims to reshape perceptions of who football in Bradford is for. The club is passionate about sustainability and community engagement, hoping to attract new audiences to the matches through this initiative.
