Working for the community
What we mean by
Social Impact
Social wellbeing
Our project is straightforward! - The establishment of a vibrant social community hub for Holywell Green to address the social isolation demographics as supplied by the Public Health Intelligence Team at Calderdale Council. This shows that the village and surrounding areas have a widespread social isolation factor amongst certain groups of people.. We aim to provide a significant improvement in social participation across these groups, increased support for existing and new community activities, positive impact on levels of well-being and a growing, supportive well connected community.
Economic Benefit
Highly motivated individuals
working as a team
We will operate a viable, community owned and managed public house on a sustainable commercial basis. We are a registered Community Benefit Society & will use all surplus monies to fund community services and facilities that don’t exist in this village. This means that funding will be self-generated - and the reliance on the local council will be reduced. This boosts the opportunity for all residents to help shape the village future - to be part of a unique community business concept - that ‘trail-blazes’ true social interaction, creating employment and volunteering opportunities. Open to all and embracing true local spirit.
Environmental Benefit
Is this really on fair on residents?
This building has become a total eyesore and blights the village centre. How Calderdale Council allow this to continue is a disgrace. Despite numerous requests from ourselves, local residents and ward councillors, they refuse to take the statutory action available to them to rectify this situation.
But! Watch this space . . .
We aren't done with this!
