The award was made by Barclays Spaces for Sports, the Premier League's Creating Chances programme and the Football Foundation.
The charity is dedicated to helping disadvantaged children in the local community through sporting activities and informal education, preventing crime and anti-social behavior while promoting healthy living and community cohesion.
Co-founded by Bradford City Assistant Manager Wayne Jacobs, the charity is based at the home of Bradford City FC and among other activities provides a Twilight Football League that runs on Friday nights at five different locations across the city.
After the five-a-side matches have taken place, each team has a mentor that speaks about various issues including gang crime, vandalism or alcohol abuse. The scheme not only keeps young people off the streets at night but attempts to educate them about these important issues.
great work
The charity was presented with the Barclays Community Sports Award by former England defender and judging panel member Gareth Southgate, who said: "One in a Million is a truly unique scheme that engages young people through sport while educating them on important issues.
"The West Yorkshire police have noticed a huge reduction in local crime while the scheme has been in existence which is testament to the fantastic and important work the charity is doing."
Charity fundraiser Sean Rutherford commented: "It is fantastic to receive this award in recognition of the important work that One in a Million does with disadvantaged young people across Bradford.
"A huge thanks to Barclays Spaces for Sports, the Premier League's Creating Chances programme and the Football Foundation for their support. This money will be vital in ensuring that One in a Million can continue their great work across the region."
