LGBTQ+ survey

Bradford Council’s Department of Public Health is running a survey to find out more about the LGBTQ+ experience of living or working in the Bradford District.

Bradford has a rich and diverse community. LGBT+ History Month provides us with a welcome period of celebration, reflection and unity.

The survey aims to help organisations in the region better understand LGBTQ+ lives in the Bradford District. 

Anyone aged 16+ can complete the survey. It takes around ten minutes to complete and closes on Sunday 28 February.

You can take the survey here.

People from across Bradford and the surrounding ar People from across Bradford and the surrounding areas are being encouraged to join the #20MinuteMovement to help them feel healthier.

Launched by @mylivingwell1, the team listened to over 1,800 residents and 36 different health-related organisations to understand what Living Well meant to them.

Rose Dunlop, a consultant in Public Health who is leading on the campaign, said: “People of Bradford district told us they want to exercise more, eat better and do things that make them feel good about themselves. The #20MinuteMovement is not about the expensive gym or fancy trainers; it’s about the simple things, day to day that keep you healthy and happy.”

Commit to just 20 minutes of movement a day - here are 20 ideas to get you started!
