Raising Explorers, a leading after-school learning and childcare centre rooted in the heart of Bradford and Leeds, has proudly won “Business of the Year 2025” at the prestigious British Muslim Awards. The award celebrates the organisation’s exceptional contribution to the community and its unwavering commitment to supporting children and families through high-quality educational and child-centred services.
Since its founding, Raising Explorers has become a trusted name, offering vital services including after-school learning, homework support, sports clubs, holiday clubs, four flexible madrassah services, and more! With a strong focus on helping working and single parents, the centre has consistently provided safe, nurturing, and opportunity-rich environments for young people to grow.
“This is an incredible honour for us,” said Project Manager Sajid Rafiq. “To be recognised at a national level for the work we do in our local community is humbling and inspiring. We are so proud to represent Bradford and Leeds, and we will continue striving to give every child who walks through our doors the opportunity to thrive.”
Earlier this year, Raising Explorers expanded to Leeds as part of its mission to grow and extend its support to more families across the region. The team is determined to continue this journey of growth, bringing meaningful impact to communities through education and care.
The British Muslim Awards, now in its 13th year, celebrates the achievements of individuals, businesses, and organisations across the UK who are making a lasting, positive impact within their communities and beyond. This prestigious event honours excellence across a wide range of sectors, from education and healthcare to entrepreneurship and charitable work, shining a spotlight on those who lead with purpose, integrity, and dedication.
The “Business of the Year” award acknowledges exceptional leadership, innovation, and deep-rooted community engagement.
