Sponsor the Mayor’s charity half marathon this Sunday!

The Mayor of Hebden ROyd Town Council, CLlr Steve Woodhead, stands next to his Consort and granddaughter WInnie Woodhead, at the finish line of their 60-mile charity cycle between Mytholmroyd and Manchester.

On Sunday 13th September, the Mayor of Hebden Royd Town Council, Cllr Steve Woodhead, will be taking part in the Great North Run to raise funds for Calder Valley Search & Rescue Team (CVSRT).

CVSRT is a 100% volunteer-run charity that saves lives in wild, remote, and urban environments. Operating on behalf of West Yorkshire Police, they provide crucial emergency support, including missing person searches, swift-water rescue, and technical crag evacuations.

Each Mayor choses a charity to support throughout their Mayoral year. This year, our Mayor Cllr. Steve Woodhead has chosen to support CVSRT because they provide a vital lifesaving service in our beautiful but often challenging landscape.

The Mayor’s half marathon comes hot on the heels of his Consort and granddaughter Winnie Woodhead’s cycle challenge in July. Cycling 60 miles from Mytholmroyd to Manchester, 8-year-old Winnie raised nearly £4,000 for CVSRT!

The Mayor’s future fundraising events include a Charity Quiz on Wed 20th January at Olive’s Cafe Bistro in Mytholmroyd, and a Ceilidh at Mytholmroyd Community Centre on Saturday 20th March. Both events are open to all and tickets will be available soon!
