Welcome to BYDP

It has been committed to collaborative partnership working with the statutory and other voluntary sector organisations and agencies for a bespoke service which assists young people to make informed decisions.

As a charitable youth organisation it is well versed with the aims set out in the Every Child Matters/Youth Matters: Change for Children agenda and the Government Respect Agenda and its commitments of these to the practice with children and young people.

BYDP is an approved Accreditation Centre (NOCN).
 


BYDP would like to offer a BIG thank you to all who donated Tesco vouchers for schools; these vouchers will be used to provide much needed equipment for our young people.


Young Citizens Achievement Awards Ceremony 10 February 2009

Maryam Ahmed is a determined young woman and has proved to be an excellent role model for young people across Bradford despite having her own personal difficulties.  Maryam has been heavily involved in the work of Bradford Youth Development Partnership having put herself forward as a volunteer on a number of projects since coming to Bradford including Youth Fusion, Palz, Educational learning, Bradford Youth Summit, Allot-4-Less and, contributed to work in the BYDP office.  Maryam is passionate about her volunteer work and about giving young people a voice which enables them to make a difference to their own lives.

Amanda Lake, Connexions PA, based at Bradford Youth Development Partnership felt that Maryam deserved to be nominated for her outstanding contribution.  Amanda was present when Maryam was recently honoured with two awards from Bradford Council for Positive Contribution 12-25 year old.  Maryam was delighted at receiving the first award and couldn’t believe it when she was also presented with the prestigious Young Citizen Outstanding Achievement Award by BBC Look North’s Christa Ackroyd.
