GUB AWARDS STUDENTS
The Ghana Union Bradford has been rewarding GCSE students for the past four years. The 2018 ceremony was held during the 2nd quarter meeting on 2nd June 2018 at MAPA, Bradford
The Awards ceremony is to encourage students within the community to strive towards excellence. This particular award was however not about grades or how well a student had done academically, its about achievement and completion.
Students who qualify for this award must come from African or Caribbean decent and must have successfully completed the GCSE exams. To day, over 20 students had received the awards some of whom had gone on to be medical or pharmaceutical students at their respectively universities.
If you wish to support this awards in future or indeed sponsor a child's education either here in the UK or in Ghana, please do not hesitate to contact us and we will arrange to support that desire.
GUB ORGANISES DAY TRIP
The Ghana Union Bradford organised a family day trip to the sea
side resort of Scarborough on 12th August 2017. The trip was heavily subsidized by the Union to enable as many members and the general public as possible to be a part of.
The trip was meant to afford parents the opportunity to have some time with their children who are on school holidays. At Scarborough, the group part took in various games, enjoyed the rides and some went on the speed boats.
