Get Listed

Here on DIVA we hold information on groups and organisations in the Volutary and Community Sector (VCS), as well as funded services provided in the VCS, and also community venues.

You will soon be able to register your group, or your venue, or your service, online.  We will also be updating our registration forms to be consistent with the design of our new website.

In the meantime, if you would like to register with DIVA, you can download one of the following forms.  Once complete, you can either email the form back to us, or print it and post it to the address on the form.

Below you will find details of how to (1) get your group listed, or how to  (2) get your funded services listied on DIVA, or how to (3) get your community venue listed on DIVA, or finally, if you have a venue already listed, how to (4) get your meeting rooms listed.

(1) Registering Groups / Organisations

If your group or organisation is not yet on DIVA, then we would like to hear about it. We know that new groups are being set up all the time and we hope to include as many as possible.

We have developed a form for groups to complete so that we can be sure to get all required information. You can download a copy from the links below or you can phone us on 01274 434572 and we'll be happy to send you one.

As well as the form, we also have an additional information booklet which answers some common questions.

Who we list - and who we don't

DIVA concentrates on listing Bradford District VCS organisations of all kinds - from small clubs and societies to large charities. We define voluntary groups as those set up within communities to further a particular interest or issue. Such groups may generate income, but essentially operate on a not-for-profit basis.

Thus, voluntary organisations can be seen as making up a 'third sector', distinct from both private businesses and public bodies, such as council departments or the health service. We have also listed some partnerships that cross sectors. For Council Services visit the Bradford Council website.

We are keen for DIVA to be open to the broadest range of voluntary organisations. However, those which we see as promoting hate or prejudice toward other members of society will not be able to make use of DIVA to publicise their activities. 

DIVA lists selected organisations which are based outside the Bradford District but which are open to or provide a service to people within it. We particularly do this where there is no other local provision.

(2) Registering Funded Services

If you provide funded services in the Bradford District we might also be able to include details of these on DIVA.   An organisation on DIVA can include any number of eligible services.

Which services we will list

DIVA will primarily only list services provided by VCS organisations who have been funded to provide community services.  As such your service(s) will be quality marked, or be working towards a quality mark.  It is important that you contact us before submitting a Services form so we can tell you if your Service meets the required criteria.

(3) Registering Community Venues

We haven't yet created a form for registering a community venue, as this is a new aspect of the updated website.  If you wish to register your venue, please contact us and we will help you register your venue.

(4) Meeting Rooms

If you already have a community venue listed on DIVA, you can list any meeting rooms that you have available to other people.  This form is currently only available in MS Word format. If you require an alternative format, please contact us.
