I’m feel incredibly proud to be part of @Watermarkfund, the amazing brainchild of @chrissands100, along with support from @CalderdaleFound, @Calderdale & huge amounts of Watermark supporters, emergency grants were ready and waiting but now it’s time for government to step up!
This is the reality in #calderdale right now. Thanks to all your donations so far, @CalderdaleFound will continue to give out grants for flood affected with the funds available, we need government match funding to reach everyone #watermarkfund
Thank you @HollyLynch5 we need the match funding to help those in need. Our committed supporters donated continuously to the fund with their Watermark products which meant we hit the ground running but more support is needed due to the scale of this flood incident in #calderdale
I’ve also spelt out to the Secretary of State twice in two days that @CalderdaleFound needs match funding for it’s Flood Appeal. The remarkable #Floodsave and @Watermarkfund schemes are doing great things but without that commitment we cannot help all those who need it.
Calderdale is open for business! Come and support the many wonderful businesses who are recovering from the flooding. Read about Yorkshire Dama Cheese, a Sowerby Bridge cheese producer, which is now fully operational despite major flood damage: https://t.co/vOH1fiH1gk #Resilience
@HollyLynch5 Surely it’s down to those flood affected in #Calderdale to argue individual cases for more resilience measures not someone in London? Appalling.
Your question didn’t include match for the Appeal? @Watermarkfund@CalderdaleFound
Any news on this?
