Bradford’s City of Culture team has been awarded £300,000 by the West Yorkshire Combined Authority.
At is most recent meeting, the authority approved the funding which will go towards building capacity for the city’s year of events in 2025.
According to local press, the latest investment will help 15 organisations with capacity building and training, develop approximately 30 events, and create some 10 jobs and 200 volunteering opportunities.
At the meeting, Bradford Council leader Susan Hinchcliffe said: "It will create a long lasting impact for the residents of Bradford - that’s what we want City of Culture to be."
The funding follows a £20m cash injection from government, Arts Council England and the National Lottery Heritage Fund announced last month.
