At a meeting of the Town Council last night (Wednesday 27th June) the Town Council agreed to initially provide £10,000.00 for the emergency fund established by the Community Foundation For Calderdale (CFFC). The funding is available to residents of Hebden Royd who have suffered financial hardship as a consequence of the flooding.
The funds will be administered by the CFFC and those wishing to apply should contact them direct on:
Grants line: 01422 438738
E-mail: enquiries@cffc.co.uk

Cllr Dave Young who proposed setting up the fund said 'at this time many families are in real financial hardship and we hope that this will, in some way, help them get through the next few weeks as they try to rebuild what has been damaged in these terrible floods'.
