being achieved.

The short survey asks 12 multiple choice questions to gauge people’s thoughts about Calderdale across a number of areas.

As an extra incentive, anyone completing the survey has the option to be entered into a prize draw for some great local prizes, including tickets to Square Chapel events and to Shibden Hall.

The survey can be found at www.calderdale.gov.ukand is available to complete until Friday, January 31.

We’re ambitious about the future of Calderdale, but we want to make sure that our efforts are well directed and make the intended difference for our residents.

While we continue to analyse available data to see where our work should be focused, it’s also vitally important that we hear from people who live here and learn more about their experience­s of daily life as a Calderdale resident.

The informatio­n collected in this survey will be used to inform and help us deliver our ambitions for the borough as part of Vision2024.

It will also help us plan for our annual ‘We Are Calderdale’ event, which is due to take place in March this year.

Where do we want to be by 2024? How will the Calderdale of 2024 be different from the place it is now? What ambitions do we share?

Join the conversati­on by following #VisionCdal­e2024 on social media and visit www. calderdale.gov.uk/vision.

Management Committee, Todmorden Food Drop In

THE volunteers at the Todmorden Food Drop In want to say a big thank you to all the wonderful organisati­ons and individual­s who gave donations of food and money during this Christmas season. It remains a damning indictment of the current economic situation that the Food Drop In continues to be necessary. We recently gave out our 50,000th parcel!

The number of children in need is a particular worry and we do all we can to help with this.

It is amazing that so many people in the valley have given so much to help those in our community who are struggling to feed themselves and their families in these difficult times.

Thanks to them, many people were able to have a bag of special treats for the Christmas period, as well as the basic supplies the Drop In has to offer. performed their traditiona­l play between New Year’s Day and Twelfth Night (January 6).

Supported by a chorus of Ryburn 3 Step musicians and singers, the players arrive out of the dark dressed in fantastic costumes, deliver their seasonal play by lantern light, and disappear back into the night.
