The Fuelling Futures collaborated with Bradford Manufacturing Weeks, an initiative designed to create meaningful connections between manufacturers and the younger generation.

Imaginations were revved up and passions were ignited as school pupils from across Bradford district took part in the Fuelling Futures launch day at City Hall (July 14). 

The campaign, run by The Leap in partnership with bradford college and bradford council, is supported and funded by Sir Lewis Hamilton’s charity mission 44 – and in fact a few of the young wannabes even got to meet the man himself in the run up to the event while on a trip to Silverstone, the home of the British Formula One Grand Prix. 

Bradford’s love of cars and car culture is well known, but ever thought about what it takes to get that engine revving and those wheels in motion?

Fuelling Futures is a season of activities and events, we hope to raise awareness and increase diversity and inclusion within motorsports and STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) careers. Empowering and encouraging young people from traditionally underrepresented groups to choose the apprenticeship route. To fund a series of fun, interactive and inclusive events and activities to get young people engaged and involved in STEM and motorsports.
