Covid-19 updates

8th February 2021

Vaccine Rollout

The Covid-19 vaccination rollout is well underway in Kirklees and there has been a very positive response to date. We’ve put together some of the latest updates for workers, families and individuals.

Vaccinations for critical volunteers 

Vaccine appointments will be available for those who are providing face to face, in person, health and care support to vulnerable people in our local places. This could include volunteers from Mutual Aid Groups and community organisations in Kirklees. If you have volunteers or staff who are providing critical support, you can share information now with the Clinical Commissioning Group to help them with planning vaccination appointments. Find out more on the Third Sector Leaders Kirklees website:

These are materials that you can share via email, text or on your social media channels, or print out and display. There are three different sets of resources:

How can more people come together to make local places better?

8th February 2021

Kirklees Council’s Democracy team and the New Citizenship Project are running a two part workshop in February 2021 with the aim to give Kirklees citizens an opportunity to meet with other local people to look to the future.

‘How can more people come together to make local places better’ starting in February will involve a mixture of activites and small group discussions, and will be a safe environment to share experiences, listen to other people’s stories and make connections.
