The Community Foundation for Calderdale is leading the Warmer Homes Healthy People campaign to provide help for local people during the cold winter months to prevent them becoming ill because of the cold and thus reducing hospital stays and minimising winter deaths among vulnerable groups.

Working with Calderdale Council, the Department of Health, Voluntary Action Calderdale (VAC), Age UK and Calderdale SmartMove we are appealing to local people and businesses for unwanted hats, scarves, gloves, jumpers, socks and blankets – in fact, anything, that might help vulnerable people this winter.

Volunteers from VAC and SmartMove will be donating their time to collect donated goods and assemble them into packs for distribution to those identified as vulnerable including the elderly, some children under 5 and homeless people.

You can donate goods at local libraries, swimming pools and ‘Customer First’ points in Halifax, Brighouse and Todmorden until the end of January.  Or, you can make a financial donation through Localgiving.com with THIS LINK.  Businesses wishing to donate should contact our CEO, Steve Duncan, by emailing steve@cffc.co.uk

If you have any questions about the scheme please contact Emma Bolger or Steve Duncan at CFFC.

Until the end of June 2012 new individual and business members to the Foundation will receive a 50% discount and a voucher card worth approximately £400!

A new Localgiving.com Match Funding Scheme will commence on March 1^st 2012.  A pot of £375,000 will be available nationally to match donations made to groups and charities through Localgiving.com.  Any single group with a live webpage on Localgiving.com could benefit by up to £2,500 (i.e. if £2,500 is donated it could be doubled up to £5000 once exact limits have been announced).  The pot of matched funding will be distributed strictly on a "first come: first served" basis and demand is likely to be high, so groups who are already registered with Localgiving are advised to encourage donors to act as quickly as possible when the scheme commences.

If your group is not yet registered for Localgiving and would like to participate in this Match Funding opportunity, get more information and download a registration form HERE. You can also contact us on 01422 329700 to find out when the next sign up event is.
