Kirklees
Kirklees is a metropolitan borough built around the major textile towns of Huddersfield and Dewsbury.
The Colne and Holme Valleys to the west are steeply rugged on the edge of the Pennines with smaller industrial mill towns like Marsden and Holmfirth.
The Everybody Active place partnership brings together colleagues who are passionate about physical activity, movement and sport across Kirklees.

Vision: “More people, more active, more often in Kirklees”
How we support Kirklees
Glenn is our lead in developing, fostering and managing relationships in Calderdale and Kirklees, with additional support from the wider YSF team. This nurturing of relationships is designed to support people being more active, particularly people living with the greatest challenges who will benefit most.
