Ground Floor Project - Hebden Bridge - West Yorkshire
Overview
Ground Floor Project aims to promote a positive community action that increases opportunities and benefits for all disadvantaged people in the Upper Coulder Valley.
Further Information
The Ground Floor Project is a registered charity (Charity No. 515918) and a company limited by guarantee (Company No. 1867571). The Project was set up in 1981 by local people for local people to provide community facilities for disadvantaged groups living in the Calder Valley, Luddendenfoot and Todmorden of Calderdale.
Based in Hebden Bridge, the Project has developed a special and enduring relationship with the town. As well as being a prime site for developing centralised resources for the region, the town was severely under-resourced in community amenities, something the Project has managed to help remedy over the years.
In addition to developing community initiatives, The Ground Floor project runs the Salem Community Centre.
In 2005 the Centre was open most days from 8am to 10pm for 50 weeks a year, housed 54 community groups and was visited in excess of 46,634 times.
