Rent Arrears Help in Bradford

About Bradford's Muslim community
Bradford is around 30.5% Muslim (over 165,000 people, 2021 census) — the highest proportion of any English city, with British-Pakistani heritage at the centre of community life.
Bradford's Muslim community is rooted in the post-1960s Mirpuri migration and remains one of the most established British-Pakistani communities in Europe, with deep mosque networks across BD3, BD7, BD8 and BD9 — and a long history of cross-community work after the 2001 unrest.
