A LOCAL MP is extremely impressed with the excellent work being done at a Manningham community centre. Mental health is at the heart of what the Millan Centre does with women offered counselling in Urdu, Punjabi and English. The centre on Victor Street played host to Batley and Spen representative Tracy Brabin last week. She was inspired by the projects and spoke to services users about their experiences during lockdown and how grateful they were to receive hot meals and support from Millan. They also talked about being socially isolated and desperately looking forward to interacting with others again. Ms Brabin encouraged chairperson Elizabeth Hellmich and vice chair Saliha Sadiq to continue their work.
A COMMUNITY stalwart from East Morton who strives to boost the lives of those in need – both locally and internationally – has won a fundraiser of the year award. Fundraising is something that Saliha Sadiq – a social worker, mental health practitioner and counsellor – has done with her parents since childhood, meaning that recognition came as something of a surprise. Saliha helps voluntary groups in Bradford and through volunteering has raised £290,000 in total for a number of charities. Causes include the Kashmir Education Foundation – an organisation which provides free education to disadvantaged children in Pakistan – and Indus Hospital Charities, which offers free healthcare to those in need across 52 districts of Pakistan.
