Investment in prevention
Born in Bradford research and partnerships helped Bradford secure major investment in three areas:
- £49 million for Better Start Bradford, which supports children in their early years
- £11 million for JU:MP, which helps children be more active
- Over £30 million for cleaner vehicles, to improve the air people breathe
These figures show the investment that BiB’s work and partnerships helped to secure alongside our partners.
Clean Air Zone healthcare costs
Born in Bradford’s BiB Breathes project and Connected West Yorkshire evaluated changes in people’s use of healthcare after Bradford’s Clean Air Zone was introduced.
In the first year of CAZ, early findings point to healthcare savings of around £30,700 a month.
Arts culture and research capacity
Born in Bradford built partnerships with artists and organisations that helped bring cultural investment to the city.
Our city-wide approach to research played a key part in Bradford’s success as UK City of Culture 2025 as well as £3.5 million of investment from Arts Council England.
