A CAMPAIGN to ensure every child in the Bradford district is warm this winter is now taking donations in the form of warm clothing. Bradford’s community groups, faith groups, public sector organisations and the business community have joined forces on the No Child Cold campaign to help families struggling with the extra heating costs caused by children being at home during whilst schools are closed. It was launched in January and helps to support families where household income has dropped due to a loss of hours at work or furlough, as well as families in receipt of certain benefits, or where children qualify for free school meals and fuel costs have increased because of remote learning.
A KEIGHLEY councillor has praised the support given so far to a campaign which aims to ensure all children can study at home in warm conditions this winter. The No Child Cold initiative has been launched to support disadvantaged families across the district which are faced with extra heating costs due to the latest national lockdown. Bradford Council is running the campaign in partnership with Citizens Advice – which has a base at Central Hall in Alice Street, Keighley – Give Bradford and Community Action Bradford. With people spending more time at home and children learning remotely while schools are closed to most pupils, families have been hit with higher energy bills.
