His relationship with the characters has all the dramatic tension of a real life double act”  The Guardian AGE LIMIT: 14+   Book Now

Local groups need your help more than ever Local charities and community groups need your help more than ever to support local people over the festive season. Winter volunteering opportunities include delivering meals or supporting community groups and foodbanks who are helping people in crisis. Donations are always welcome and One Community's Match It Fund will double your contribution. You can take part in online activities as a family, or nominate someone to receive a gift or treat. Give Local this winter   Let's face loneliness together Over 9 million people in the UK say they are always or often lonely. This year has been particularly difficult for many. The Great Winter Get Together is a month of activities organised by the Jo Cox Foundation, from 14th December 2020 to 18th January 2021. Join in with the activities over the next few weeks to help tackle loneliness, one connection at a time. The Great Winter Get Together   Can you help to knit a rainbow? You can help celebrate our local skills and rich textile heritage (and brighten lots of people's day) by taking part in The Big Rainbow Knit. WOVEN in Kirklees are going to be yarn bombing Huddersfield Train Station next June, wrapping the six grand pillars with a giant knitted rainbow. Activity groups, schools and individuals of any age are very welcome to join in by making knitted pieces at home. Here's how to get involved... Big Rainbow Knit Festive funding for local organisations Are you part of a local group who are missing out on your usual Christmas fair, concert or other fundraising event this Christmas? Kirklees Council have made an extra £50,000 available to support community groups and organisations in our local places. The extra money, available from your ward councillors' project budgets, is for groups who have lost out on income over the Christmas and New Year period, due to Covid-19. Support fund Your voice in our local places Sharing the experiences of tenants and leaseholders This summer 2,432 tenants and leaseholders told us what it’s really like to live in their council home and their local place. To help everyone learn more about what participants said, we've published all the comments and some useful summary documents online.  Tenant engagement results Holme Valley Neighbourhood Development Plan A Neighbourhood Plan is a way for people who live and work in a particular area to have a say in planning policies. This includes deciding how a local area should develop and what kind of thing should be built. Holme Valley Parish Council have created a plan for the Holme Valley. Anyone who lives or works in the area (or who has an interest) can share comments on the neighbourhood plan between now and 5pm on Tuesday 2nd February 2021.
