Staying Well, who work to tackle social isolation and loneliness, set out to hold an awards ceremony in January 2020, but were prevented from doing so by the coronavirus pandemic.

Instead, they produced a film highlighting all those who were nominated and who won awards, which was shown at the recent Calderdale Big Band Tea Dance.

The people of Calderdale nominated over 100 groups, organisations and individuals across the borough who are all working and volunteering to make our communities a better place.

A panel of judges selected winners in 10 categories:

Staying Well Lower Valley Award - Christ Church, Hipperholme

Staying Well North & East Halifax Award - Men United

Bringing People Together Award - Sheila Jackson, Shakeela Zaman

Staying Well Upper Valley Award - Tuesday 2 O’clock Club
