Hello Hade Edge Community,

My name is Win Harrison you may have seen me and my wife Karen in and around the local areas especially in Holmfirth. Karen and I moved to Holmbridge from Essex in August 2013, to live near our daughter who was starting her own family and wanted to live near our grandchildren.

With such a big decision, adjusting to a slower pace of life took time and I needed to find a way to fit into new surroundings. So, after a meeting of solar minded people in Holmfirth that wanted to make our town a nicer place to live, the Holmepride name was agreed by the ensemble of local people.

However, like a lot of groups it needed leadership as it wasn't going to succeed without it. So, 9 months on from the initial meeting, I took over the group as Chair and Karen as Secretary as we knew we had to become a constituted group which allowed us to apply for funding using our groups bank account.

After 5 years, we are going strong with new volunteers coming forward of all ages, genders and abilities, everyone can join us by emailing us at hello@holmepride.co.uk or by message to :- facebook.com/holmepride come and join us.

I am extremely proud of what we have achieved and couldn't do it without the help of others.
