Born in Bradford is an internationally-recognised research programme which aims to find out what keeps families healthy and happy by tracking the lives of over 40,000 Bradfordians. We use our findings to develop new and practical ways to work with families and health professionals to improve the health and wellbeing of our communities.

Each year, this group of young people will be invited to share their hopes, dreams, and fears for the future, and take part in interviews and group discussions. These stories will help us understand how we can make Bradford an amazing place for young people to thrive and fulfil their potential.
