In addition to my own appointment last July we appointed our new Chief Executive, Owen Williams, in February; the fi rst change at the top for 15 years. We said a very fond farewell to Diane Whittingham at the end of March who had been at the helm for such a long and successful period at our Trust. We also welcomed Consultant Surgeon David Wise as our new Medical Director and Keith Griffi ths joined us from Liverpool as Director of Finance. They replaced Yvette Oade and Mark Brearley, respectively, who both moved onto new challenges at other Trusts during the year. Board colleague Carol Clark (deputy chair) also left us in November after contributing so much over the years and, to complete the Board changes, we appointed Peter Roberts, David Anderson and Jan Wilson as new non-executive directors. I would like to thank all the former colleagues for their work, enthusiasm and dedication over the years and also pledge the commitment of the “new-look” senior team It became pretty obvious, pretty quickly, that it is our staff to continue to develop and strengthen this Trust for the – every single one of the 6,300 – who make it all possible. challenges of the future. At the staff annual Celebrating Success awards amazing stories of sheer dedication and inspiration are given the The beginning of the year also saw 500 community staff spotlight they deserve. Yet I have realised that day in day from Calderdale join us as part of the Transforming out it is their professionalism and care that continues to Community Services programme. This year has been about make the Trust the quality healthcare deliverer it is for our integrating them into our organisational structure and the patients. planning of the streamlining/improvement of services that this will enable. So, a big thank-you to all and I also include our volunteers, League of Friends supporters and our Membership Council, The one certainty about the Trust’s future is that it is going who support our Board in making the key decisions to to involve very great change starting right here right now. make sure patients get the right care in the right setting. The Health and Social Care Bill has provoked a massive My biggest thank-you I leave until the end and that goes debate about healthcare in all quarters across the country to Diane Whittingham. Our Chief Executive for 15 years and whilst, quite rightly, it has been subject to challenge, steered this Trust through incredible changes and yet we it is also widely agreed the NHS does need to change to be maintained our reputation and position within the NHS as best able to meet the needs of its patients. one of the recognised leaders – always moving forward, always looking to improve – and with a caring heart at all And locally that process is very much underway.

Close team working Chairman of the Trust and I hope to be able to build on between hospitals, our community staff and local authority and continue her tremendous legacy. staff is at the very heart of this process and continues apace. Andrew Haigh Chairman For me, in my fi rst year as Chairman, it has been a year of meeting people in all the divisions at the Trust and learning more and more every day about just how the NHS locally succeeds in delivering the enviable care it does. 6 Chief Executive’s Statement This will be my fi nal statement for the annual report as I will be leaving the Trust at the end of March 2012. I have had both the pleasure and the privilege to spend over 30 years working in the NHS and 15 of those years have been spent in Calderdale and Huddersfi eld. During this time I have seen the Trust grow, develop and signifi cantly improve the services we deliver to our patients. We have embarked on two major service reconfi gurations, merged organisations, achieved Foundation Trust status and due to our consistent high performance were named the ‘Acute Healthcare Organisation of the Year’ in 2010. It has been a period of signifi cant change and we have seen our services transform and our outcomes substantially improve. Given this is my last report I wanted to not only share our in- year achievements but I also wanted to tell you more about the people who deliver our services, the staff you often see and those who work hard behind the scenes to ensure that our services run as smoothly as they can. The Trust is one of the largest employers in the area, providing jobs for over 6,000 people. We have a signifi cant impact on the health and wealth of the local area and we take our responsibilities very seriously. Many of our staff originate from the local area but we employ many other professionals who choose to live locally and raise their families here. Any organisation is only as good as the people it employs and we have some of the best.

  • A Vision for Our Future Kirkheaton Future Writes
    Your FREE MAGAZINE for Kirkheaton, Upper Heaton, Gawthorpe, Bog Green, Briggate, Houses Hill, Wellhouse ISSUE 21 & Lascelles Hall NEWS SUMMER 2018 A vision for our future KIrkheaton Future writes.... Our draft Neighbourhood Plan is due for completion by August 2018 and you will then have a third chance to have your say on the future of Kirkheaton. Various workshops and the comprehensive survey of residents and businesses in 2017, have already highlighted what people want our future village to look like. The overwhelming view was that: • the village should, as far as possible, remain within the boundary of the present built-up area • brownfield and small sites should be developed first for housing and other purposes this issue • business and jobs should be promoted INSPIRATIONAL • green spaces should be retained and enhanced SARAH • the transport and road system should be improved MULTI SPORTS • priority should be given to the building of affordable and extra care housing CLUB Also through preparing the Neighbourhood Plan a number of previously unknown RECYCLING issues have emerged which are now being incorporated into the plan. EYESORE They include • the need for additional recreational facilities • the urgent requirement for extra care housing to meet the needs of older and vulnerable people now living in unsuitable standard housing • the importance of protecting and managing our historic and ecological heritage in a more effective manner. Concurrently Kirklees Council is compiling its own draft Local Plan. We have presented the views of Kirkheaton at the Local Plan Examination and hopefully the draft Local Plan will be amended in order to reflect the village’s priorities and preferences.

  • Annual Report 2018-19 Denby Dale Community Project, Operating As
    Annual report 2018-19 Denby Dale Community Project, operating as Denby Dale Community Library The Trustees are pleased to report another successful year. We provide a safe and welcoming building for the community of Denby Dale and surrounding villages, together with a small and well-used community car park. The building provides a free space for Kirklees Council to run a community-supported library, thus preserving a popular service within the village. It also provides a community hub for a wide range of activities, both formal and informal. The building benefits from a café and gift shop, run by Kirkwood Hospice, a local charity. Improvements to our building We have raised additional funds this year to improve the energy efficiency of our building. We received grants from Kirklees Councillors, the Parish Council and the The Cheridan Raithby Charitable Trust. These have been used to improve our green credentials by installing more energy efficient internal lights and putting photovoltaic panels on our roof. As well as saving us money, this has helped to reduce our carbon footprint by a total of 2.6 tons in 2019. Our external noticeboard has been renovated so that we can more effectively promote events in our building and in the local area. This is a service welcomed by clubs, choirs, charities and churches in our community. Feedback from our community During the year we conducted a survey within Denby Dale and the surrounding villages that form the catchment area for our library. We were delighted to receive 170 responses, representing a return rate of over 10%.
