    A University of Bradford graduate who founded a children's gaming company has been honoured by BAFTA for his mentoring of young people.

    Adam Syrop, programme leader at Bradford-based Impact Games CIC, received the Mentoring Award at the BAFTA Young Game Designers awards held in London.

    Impact Gamers was set up as an after-school club in 2016 in West Bowling and became an organisation teaching practical computer programming skills to children at risk of being excluded from school in deprived areas of the city.

    He won the award after being nominated by the public for educating young game designers.
