This annual event is designed to reward unsung heroes across the Bradford District who strive to make a difference in their local communities. In 2019 a Special Recognition Award was made to the Bradford WW1 Group for their programme of displays and talks given to community groups and school as part of their Sharing Remembrance project.

Students at Bradford College discuss the global scope of the war and respond to the WW1 Group slide presentation, We Will Remember Them, which features the Commonwealth Contribution in WW1.
In July 2018, we supported 11 primary schools in the Parish of St Paul’s Manningham that contributed to an Armistice Exhibition. There were an estimated 800 visitors over the weekend.
One school created seats for their reflection garden commemorating Indian soldiers who died on the same day as men from Manningham.
Another school produced a recruitment poster.
The exhibition panels were shown in the Sikh Temple on Leeds Road, Bradford, to the women’s group at the Bangladeshi Centre in Manningham, Ryan Street Muslim Day Centre and for students at Bradford College.
