Walking Bradford’s underground beck

Cinderella Club

Cinderella Club sponsors Marking Bradford Beck

Plaque 7 is sponsored by the Bradford’s Cinderella Club. <

In January 1890 notices appeared in the “Bradford Observer” inviting people to form a Cinderella Club to “reach and afford amusement” to the poor children of Bradford. By the 24th of January a meeting had been held; the club was formed and the first treat arranged.

The first act of the newly formed Bradford Cinderella Club was for “tea and entertainment” to be given to 200 poor children from all parts of the Borough at The Bradford Coffee Tavern on Saturday February 1st 1890.

Sadly, over 125 years later, there are children who still need that bit of help funding a special treat. Fortunately, the Bradford Cinderella Club is still here meeting the needs of those children. If you would like to assist with a donation to this excellent Charity then please follow the links to this page …
