We are on countdown until our Autumn Ball and we are putting the final touches in place for a fantastic night of fun, dancing and camaraderie.
Here is a full list of everything happening on the night.
Firstly, the talented BBC journalist Sabbiyah Pervez will be hosting the event. Sabbiyah is a BBC Senior Reporter and is passionate about Bradford.
The first keynote speaker will be Lise Kay Bell, founder of Soundproofbox and survivor of domestic abuse. She uses her experiences to create interactive performances to educate young people on how to recognise domestic abuse.
Our final keynote speaker is Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime Alison Lowe. Both ladies are passionate about the safety of women and girls in Bradford and are fabulous together!
Guests will also see a performance by Soundproofbox. During the performance, guests will be asked to raise red flags on their table whenever they see examples of coercive control or domestic abuse. This is always incredibly interesting to see!
