Wear our Colours

Wear our colours for Grandparents Day October 1st and help us raise funds for our work with older people in the Bradford District.

On Grandparents Day (1st October), join Age UK Bradford District in lighting up our communities by wearing our logo colours! Whether you’re in a school, workplace, community group, or local organisation - your gesture will raise funds, awareness, and smiles for older people across the Bradford District.

Why Wear Our Colours?

1. Show Your Support, Loud and Proud
   Wearing our colours is a visible, heartwarming way to stand with older people - showing them they belong and are valued.
2. Boost Local Wellbeing
   All proceeds from this campaign help fund essential local services - like Information Plus, friendly hub drop-ins, shopping and befriending support, and a range of social activities designed around what older people tell us they need. 
3. Build Community Spirit
   This campaign creates connection - parents, staff, pupils, volunteers, and friends - united for a great cause. Perfect for local teams, PTA groups, and workplace staffrooms.

How to Take Part

1. Pick your colours - Green, Blue, Orange, Pink, or a combination!
2. Wear them proudly on 1st October.
3. Snap your group photo and share it using #WearOurColoursBD on social media.
4. Send us your photo - we might feature it on our site or across our social channels!
