Support Our Campaign for a Zero Carbon Calderdale

We are an accredited grant making charity working at the heart of your local community for over 30 years. We channel grants to local frontline charities meeting important community needs, using our in-depth community knowledge, connections, and know-how.

Why the community needs us more than ever
Every year we give out over £1 million to several hundred local organisations and individuals for charitable purposes ranging from allotments to foodbanks and boxing to loneliness, and every time there's a local emergency such as a major flood event or a pandemic the Foundation mobilises funds to help those affected.

Covid and the frequent floods in the Upper Calder Valley have been devastating to so many local people but the Climate Emergency affects each and every one of us and without significant and immediate intervention locally and globally we face devastation beyond our comprehension.

We are determined at the Foundation to do our bit and we're partnering with Calderdale Council and investing over £1 million to fund grants to voluntary and community environmental and carbon reducing projects across Calderdale. The Council's £0.5m is to be spent over 2 years as grants between £1,000 and £50,000. The £0.5m we are investing in the Climate Emergency Fund is from Foundation endowed funds and we will invest and protect the £0.5m and utilise the income from investing year on year.

We need your help
£1 million is a great start but we need to mobilise much more funding and we need to act quickly to make a tangible difference and ultimately achieve a zero carbon Calderdale.

Please consider making a one off donation or set up a Direct Debit to donate on a regular basis and your donation/s will be added to the Climate Emergency Fund.

Thank You
