About CNet Bradford

About CNet Bradford

CNet is a charity and Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) operating across Bradford and District to support the voluntary, community and social enterprise sector (VCSE).  We have been in operation since 2001, and have gained our knowledge and experience though community development and engagement, with a particular focus on disadvantaged communities. 

All of our projects are “co-produced” with local stakeholders, using an asset based community development approach i.e. utilising local skills, knowledge, resources and relationships to bring about positive change. Over the years, we have developed and maintained connections with an extensive range of individuals, groups, organisations and cross sector partners. 

Our areas of expertise include:

  • Facilitation of grant programmes
  • Community engagement, consultation and co-production
  • Community development including the community readiness model (CRM)
  • Event management
  • Social research
  • Community voice, influence and representation

We have a successful track-record of delivering contracts on time, whilst meeting and often exceeding our targets.  Our funders include Bradford Council, NHS, Big Local-National Lottery, West Yorkshire Police, Home Office, City Connect, West Yorkshire Combined Authority and the Violence Reduction Partnership.
