A PHOTOGRAPHER who captured residents on their doorstep in a section of the Bradford district raised nearly £2,000 for two good causes.

Thomas Gadd, official club photographer at Bradford City, put his daily permitted walks to good use by taking pictures of people for a donation for the Bradford Burns Unit and the Bradford Hospitals' Charity.

More than 160 fundraising doorstep portraits were only open to residents from Idle, Wrose and Thackley, as Mr Gadd, 26, himself lives in the latter place.

All people had to do in return was make a £5 donation, which resulted in a £1,925 total which will be split between the Bradford Burns Unit and the Bradford Hospitals' Charity.

The Plastic Surgery and Burns Research Unit (PSBRU) at the University of Bradford was founded by Professor David Sharpe following the fire disaster at the Bradford City on May 11, 1985 where 56 people died and 258 were injured.

Bradford Hospitals’ Charity has launched an appeal for the public to support the city’s NHS hospital staff through the Covid-19 crisis.

Mr Gadd tweeted his thanks to everyone who took part and gave money to the causes and produced a photo collage.
