#SmallCharityWeek begins today! Share to show support for the UK’s vital small charities: I Love Small Charities! #NeverMoreNeeded #SmallbutMighty #MonthofCommunity

Our tai chi classes restart today! Supporting older people to regain strength and mobility. Socially distanced, held in Fielden Hall 10.30am on Thurs. Thanks to funding from @CalderdaleFound who have provided a grant of £2700 to help us restart activities once again

We need to prevent new variants of concern developing and spreading. If you live in the Tod, Park and Warley areas please get tested, even if you don't have symptoms and/or have been vaccinated. No need to book - just walk into one of our test centres: crowd.in/P1P4C6

Thanks to funding from Coronavirus Community Support Fund we're been able to encourage older people to get creative. Here is a portrait 86year old Roger drew of his dog! #CommunitiesCan

We delighted to have been awarded £9,600 from the Coronavirus Community Support Fund, distributed by The National Lottery Community Fund. This will help us to remain open to support isolated older people in Todmorden. Thanks to the Government @TNLComFund @DCMS

It's International Day of Older Persons. We can't wait to be together having fun again, but we will still be here for older people in Todmorden until then. #IDOP2020

Our team member Ruth smashed the Calderdale Way challenge by fell running 102 miles in September! #walkthecalderdaleway

The new rules around mask wearing for shop staff is making life even more difficult for older people who have hearing difficulties. Help prevent isolation in this difficult time by removing a mask when it's evident someone can't understand, as a vital act of kindness

Our oldest team member (70+) completed her 50 miles, in the company of her two little dogs! #walkthecalderdaleway

Very impressed with one couple raising money for us who walked 50 miles between them IN ONE DAY! That's a marathon walk each! Tod-Blackstone Edge-Cragg Vale-Hebden #movethecalderdaleway
