We are dedicated the fixture between Bradford (Park Avenue) and Liversedge FC as part of our growing partnership with Waterwise, the UK’s leading voice on water efficiency, and the launch of the Water‑Wise Sports Clubs project here in Bradford. Supported by The National Lottery Community Fund, the project is working with grassroots Football, Golf and Rugby clubs to help reduce water waste, lower operating costs and build awareness of water scarcity across our communities.
Yorkshire has faced prolonged heatwaves and recent drought conditions, and local clubs are feeling the impact. Grassroots sport is a powerful way to reach families, volunteers and young people who may not usually engage with environmental initiatives. By combining sport with simple, everyday water‑saving actions, the project aims to build lasting habits that benefit both clubs and households.
We’re proud to welcome Wyke Wanderers and BPA Juniors to Horsfall today as part of our steering‑group partnership. Together, we’re showcasing how local clubs can lead the way in building more resilient, sustainable communities — on and off the pitch.
Look out for the activities taking place throughout the day, and join us in championing #waterwinning as we work with Waterwise to inspire the next generation to value and save water.
