My boys love every youth activity you do. This is exactly what we needed in our community. Please keep it up.

Huddersfield Community First has given me an opportunity to gain experience in youth work. The team is extremely passionate in their work, and they do this sincerely for the benefit of teenagers like me. Thank you.
O.MYoung Volunteer and User
HDC First’s vision is to reach out and work with multi-faith and organisational groups to achieve a cohesive community. What I find most welcoming is the work they particularly do with the youth, helping them to create a better future for themselves, and this proved immeasurable with the outcomes achieved with the first youth club located within the Mosque Mohammed was employed at. This, as well as the other projects of HDC First, is a great step towards the betterment of our community. I wish them all the best.

Last week, Huddersfield Community First, in partnership with Huddersfield Council of Mosques, hosted Flipping the Script on #Islamophobia at #Huddersfield Town Hall — and what an evening it was. With over 50 people in attendance, we heard powerful contributions from across our town and beyond. Harpreet Uppal MP, Dr Abid Hussain, Revd Rachel Firth, Cllr Amanda Pinnock, Acting Inspector Khalid, Dr Shamim Miah, Dr Gerard Charles and Hamzah Naveed from MEND - Muslim Engagement & Development. Each brought a different perspective to the theme of challenging assumptions and reshaping the narrative around British Muslims. Dr Abid reflected on the long-standing contributions of Muslims in Britain, while Acting Inspector Khalid shared a moving family story about his grandfather’s service in the world wars, a reminder of a history too often overlooked. We were also honoured to host the Kiswa Arts And Culture Gallery exhibition, giving attendees a rare chance to see rare artifacts from the Ka‘bah and Madinah here in Huddersfield. It added a reflective and spiritual depth to the evening. Thank you to everyone who joined us, spoke, volunteered, or supported the event. Nights like this show what our town is capable of when communities come together to listen, learn and reframe the conversation. Let’s keep flipping the script and keep building a Huddersfield where every community stands together, supports one another, and refuses to let prejudice divide us. A huge thank you to Kirklees Council and the councillors from the following wards: Ashbrow, Crosland Moor & Netherton, Dalton, Greenhead and Newsome for their support. #flipthescript
