Year 10 students took part in our Restart a Heart Day, learning vital CPR and lifesaving skills. Students had the opportunity to gain practical experience and build their confidence in knowing how to respond in an emergency. We were joined by Dr Sophia Buncy, Deputy Lieutenant

An honour to have @YusufCatStevens come back to visit us @khidmat_centres. Our forerunners spent time with Yusuf in the 1980s discussing & implementing faith & community structures both in Bradford as well as for Yusuf’s own Foundation. The fire to do good still burns strong.

It was the honour of my life to move the Loyal Address -the first Muslim to do so.
This moment belongs to the people of Bradford West. Their trust and faith in me made it possible.
An opportunity of a lifetime. A privilege I owe to Bradford and to Britain.
