Charity and Business Partnership of the Year shortlist
CHARITY and business partnerships are thriving in Calderdale - that is clear from the nominations for the Community and Environment Awards in this particular category.
The well-loved July Project and the highlyrespected Halifax Town Centre Ambassadors were just two of the projects which were squeezed off the shortlist in an extremely difficult category to judge.
One of the partnerships that forced its way onto the list was the recycling relationship forged by Kerbside and Focsa in dealing with the district's waste.
Judge Pam Warhurst said: "These guys pushed the barriers of business ethics. Focsa were brilliant and Kerbside fully repaid their trust."
There was a place, too, for Marshalls Plc which has helped charity Lifeline Calderdale provide jobs and training for socially excluded individuals who may struggle to find work.
Judge John Furbisher said: "Marshalls is a role model for how big businesses can be ethical, and its work with Lifeline is a perfect example of that."
And also on the shortlist was Project Challenge - the collaborative scheme which works with a variety of businesses including Marshalls, Pennine Housing 2000 and Calderdale College to train and address the needs of disadvantaged and vulnerable youngsters.
Mr Furbisher said: "It does absolutely sterling work - and the respect it has garnered means it can work with several businesses, not just one."
