A Dress Up or Dress Down Day by Calderdale businesses has raised more than £900 for the victims of the recent floods in the borough.

The Community Foundation for Calderdale launched an appeal to raise £1 million to be able to give grants to households, charities and businesses affected by the flooding following the devastation caused by Storm Ciara.
