On Thursday 14 March we celebrated the end of year community first programme running in Park, Town and Sowerby Bridge wards. All our panel members were invited along with groups that had been funded in the last year. Projects include The Salvation Army, Southowram Allotments, Friends of Sowerby Bridge Railway, Phoenix FM, Annapurna Dance Group and lots more have received in total £16’000. The next round of funding will open in June for projects running in Sowerby Bridge, Town and Parks wards. To if you have a project that you think will benefit the community and want to apply for funding call 01422 365948 or email hci@calderdale.gov.uk for an application form.
