As we exit the pandemic lockdowns, albeit the virus is still with us, our member group volunteers have recommenced the excellent work they undertake in the parks and other green spaces within Kirklees. Natural Kirklees, supported by Kirklees Council, offered our members the opportunity to bid for a small grant to help them with their ambitions for 2022. The scheme closed at the end of April and we were able to make awards to 9 successful groups. The trustees have yet to visit all the sites but will meet with the groups over the coming months to report on their progress and you can read their stories here as the year progresses.
