    Churches in Bradford have clubbed together to hand out grants to community projects.

    More than £7,000 has been handed out in a recent round of grants by The Ark Charity Shop, in Heights Lane, which was set up by churches in Girlington, Heaton and Manningham.

    Projects that received funding from the scheme include an organisation that will provide entertainment and activities for children of refugees at Christmas and another that provides transport for homeless young people.
