About DIVA

The DIVA project brings together information on voluntary and community groups in a single database - from sports and leisure clubs, through support and self-help groups, community centres and campaign groups to local non-profit bodies, advice centres and branches of national charities.

We include organisations right across the Bradford District - including Bingley, Ilkley, Keighley and Shipley, as well as the city of Bradford.

As well as the directory of voluntary organisations, we also have a directory of funded services.

We aim to keep information as accurate and up-to-date as possible and always welcome the help and suggestions of our users.

By working together with key partners in the district and collecting information DIVA also helps local and national decision makers identify :

-        the strength and contribution of the voluntary and community sector within the Bradford District

-        the needs of the local voluntary and community sector, in order to help them flourish and increase their contribution to making Bradford a better place to live, work and play.

For more background on DIVA, you can view or print off our four page booklet.

Several local organisations are working together in partnership to develop the DIVA database.  These are currently: Bradford Association of Councils for Voluntary Service, BRC (Bradford Resource Centre and Community Statistics Project), CNet, plus the following departments of City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council: Adult Services and Culture, Tourism and Sport.

Database administration is undertaken by a small team working within Bradford Central Library.
