"The Bradford Bulls is a wholly inclusive club - and anyone is welcome at our stadium whether that is for rugby matches, stock cars or for any events such as next week's awards."


"We have held a number of multicultural events over the last 18 months and we are extremely keen to continue to engage with all communities within Bradford."

Deepak Sharma, one of the organisers said: “These categories represent the diverse tapestry of contributions that define Bradford's Hindu community spirit. The Bradford Diwali Awards stand as a testament to the city's unity and commitment to celebrating the remarkable individuals and groups who tirelessly work to make a difference within the community, spanning diverse fields of culture, education, sports, and community welfare."


“So we look forward to the first-ever Bradford Diwali Awards, we anticipate an evening filled with recognition, celebration, and unity, showcasing the strength of Bradford's community bonds and the indomitable spirit of its people."


“As the city prepares to shine even brighter during this Diwali season, the Bradford Diwali Awards stand as a beacon of hope, light and inspiration for all communities. They have the potential to become a cherished tradition, celebrating Bradford's diversity, resilience, and the strong spirit of its people.”

Diwali is the five-day Hindu festival of lights which occurs in autumn every year to celebrates the return of Lord Rama - an avatar of the Hindu supreme god Lord Vishnu - to the Kingdom of Ayodhya.
