Neighbourhood Schemes

A Neighbourhood Scheme is a group of people aged 50+ in your area who participate in healthy activities. Volunteers help to organise these activities as part of a steering group or committee, with support from a dedicated team at Calderdale Council.

There are Neighbourhood Schemes running in Todmorden, Halifax, Pellon, Sowerby Bridge and across the Lower Valley – they run a wide variety of activities in different venues, including Tai Chi and exercise classes, art and craft groups, computing, singing and much more. These groups run independently, with committees organising their own local activities.

We are now developing new groups in Southowram, Illingworth and Bradshaw, as well as an Asian women’s group. Please contact the team to find out what’s on near you, or visit our website.

You can find out more about existing groups and follow new development on our Neighbourhood Schemes blog: Neighbourhood Schemes|
