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.
