BAFT was born out of robust research into the housing and life-chance barriers facing young people in Kirklees. Our work is rooted in practical action, community leadership and long-term local benefit.
Build A Future Together CIC (BAFT) was born out of a programme of robust research, which identified that a large proportion of young people from impoverished areas across Kirklees will struggle to buy their own home or acquire good quality housing.
This can have a major impact on future life chances, including raising stable families, self-belief and pride, mental health, resilience and long-term opportunity.
