There is so much climate action work taking place across Calderdale. This gives us a great base from which to build. Community climate action fits well with lots of other work taking place in the borough. This includes building an inclusive economy, promoting health and activity, and ensuring warm homes.
- We are working across the voluntary and community sector to create happier, healthier, and greener lives for everyone in Calderdale.
- The following received funding from the West Yorkshire Mayor’s Community Climate Grants:
- We have realised the value of building on our existing successes while avoiding doubling efforts.
- We must make sure that people from all backgrounds have a say in shaping the future. This will need more time and funding.

Our priorities for the next year
Our focus for the next year is to build partnerships. We need to find funding to move our community climate action plans from ideas into reality.
Case study – Cozydale project
Cozydale is a Todmorden Learning Centre and Community Hub project using funding from Mayor Brabin's Community Climate Grants. Working in Park ward and Warley, Cozydale has delivered free insulation training to residents. This is in partnership with St. Augustine’s Centre and the Women’s Activity Centre.
A lady explained: “We’ve been given the chance to learn new skills. The course gives you an idea of how to do your own internal walls. You go away feeling confident and excited to make changes.”
