We couldn’t survive without other organisations in the area. They provide information about jobs which need doing, funding, publicity, and support on social media.
We work alongside:
- Calderdale Council Highways Department, liaising about routes we are working on and seeking advice about how to deal with difficult problems.
- Calderdale Countryside Service who make finger posts for us.
- Walkers Are Welcome, Ramblers and other walking groups who tell us what needs doing.
- Local community organisations such as Cragg Vale Community Association, Sowerby residents and Luddenden Conservation society who also tell us what needs doing and have given financial support.
We have worked on specific projects suggested by the following groups and organisations:
- Heart of the Pennines – Walkers are Welcome – e.g. working on their children’s walks, pop-out walks, bus walks and their self guided walks.
- Pennine Horizons – e.g. improving the routes of e-Trails.
- Cragg Vale Community Association – e.g. working on a new path above Cragg Brook.
- Calderdale Long Distance Walkers Association – repairing parts of the Hebden Route.
- National Trust – working on paths in the Hardcastle Crags area and access paths.
- Blackshaw, Wadsworth and Heptonstall Parish Councils
- University of Huddersfield – repairing and upgrading three “Discovering Ted Hughes’s Yorkshire” trails.
- Active Calderdale
