P.S. I live in Bradford so, looking for any opportunities in Bradford or close by.

Look for local charities, community interest companies and community benefit societies. These organizations are in a position to provide meaningful HR experience on a voluntary basis. Any organization with more than a few dozen employees is likely to have organic HR or have engaged a consultant to support them. So you want organizations with 12-20 staff, probably still in the start-up phase of operations but not necessarily in the case of a charity.

Give them a call and try to speak to a Director, MD or CEO. Clearly articulate your qualifications, the services you can offer, how many days per week you can offer them and for how long. Be realistic and set a reasonable cut-off date (say, three months).

There will likely be opportunities to set up HR policies, review contracts of employment, look at people management practice and most likely deal with a few minor employee relations issues. If things start getting serious (big employee relations issues) then point them in the direction of a local consultancy and slowly back away from the dumpster fire.

Hi The National Council for Voluntary organisations has some info www.ncvo.org.uk/.../ . Your local scheme probably has some opportunities. However, it's probably worth also looking at 'Reach', which brokers trusteeships, the Guardian often have vacancies and some of the charity specialist recruitment agencies are a good bet too. Charities have differing levels of need and compliance so it's probably worth you looking at how much impact you can have on an organisation.

Reach volunteering us a fantastic website to have a look on.

It may also be wise to enquire with your local CIPD branch about getting involved in events etc :)
