    An event designed to encourage more looked-after children to consider going to university was held at Bradford College.

    The Aspirations evening saw children aged from eight to 16 years taking part in workshops aimed at getting them to think about their career ambitions and the pathways they could take to achieving their dreams.

    The event, which was the first of its kind to be held at the college, was designed to raise aspirations, break down barriers and help young people in care to go on, after school, to further and higher education.
