NEWS
In the last twelve months the members have been considering ways in which the Charity’s reserves can best be put to use. The members have been consulting with the public at the last two Big Community Events together with the input from an advisory group.
Members have agreed that it’s best to support a small number of larger projects so have decided to initially support the extension at Honley Library and the refurbishment of Holmfirth Civic Hall. They are pleased to announce that the Charity has set aside £350,000 from its reserves and will work with the Parish Council to identify specific elements within both projects that need funding. It’s possible that further reserves may be available for other projects in the future and the Trustee will keep this under review.
