OVERVIEW

SUSTAIN - Impact Hub Bradford x PwC

After the success of our first collaboration, ‘Sustain,’ with PwC, we’re excited to introduce the Enterprise Accelerator programme, Sustain 3.0. This programme is dedicated to supporting female-focused organisations in West Yorkshire’s Creative and Cultural Industries (CCI).

Bradford, with its rich history in creativity and culture, including contributions from the Bronte sisters and Hockney, as well as impressive architecture and landscapes, is a unique and special place.

With BD25 on the horizon and West Yorkshire Mayor Tracy Brabin’s ambitious culture plan, now is an excellent time to be part of Arts and Culture, especially as the sector has experienced significant growth. We believe Bradford and the North should lead the creative revolution, showcasing the impactful contributions of women in these fields.

ABOUT THE PROGRAMME

Our impact so far

As vaccination programmes are rolled out to help protect us from COVID-19, we’re determined to support our city’s economic and civic recovery.

Great challenges await, but we know Bradford can rise to these with equally great talent, compassion and determinism. SUSTAIN will support those who are looking to support our collective recovery.

SUSTAIN is a six-month programme of targeted support designed to equip organisations with skills, support and access to networks as they navigate the challenges of post-COVID recovery.
