Spring Fair fun comes to Holme Wood!

Last month, over 200 people from Bradford came together to enjoy some spring sunshine and explore new career opportunities at the Holme Wood Spring Fair.

The fair, organised by the Sutton Centre and sponsored by Realise, was held at the Holme Centre on Madison Avenue. The fair had something for everyone, including face painting, crafts, games, inflatables, tombola, raffles, and the classic hook-a-duck, all big hits with the kids! There was also a tasty, low-cost BBQ and free ice cream for everyone who came along.

Other local organisations from the community also supported the event, including The Valley Project, Emerge, Tong Wellbeing Hub, DR Wellness, Bradford South Family Hub, and the West Yorkshire Fire Service.

Hannah Grady, Adult Skills Operations Manager at Realise, said: "It was a fantastic event and great to see so many people of all ages having lots of fun.

There was a super atmosphere, and it made for a special day for the entire local community.

We were thrilled to sponsor the event and really cement our partnership with Holme Wood, where we have delivered Adult Skills courses for a few years now.

It was great to speak to local residents about the opportunities available to them, the vast majority fully funded, so at no cost to the learner, and to bring along the Realise training bus, where we train bus drivers of the future."
