We Are Calderdale 2025

Vision 34 was officially launched at the annual ‘We are Calderdale’ partnership event in June 2025. It marked a significant milestone and the start of a 10-year ambition for the whole borough, which will build hope and aspiration, making Calderdale an even better place to live, work, play, learn, visit and invest.

The information pack includes some key successes and areas of achievement over the previous year along with case studies demonstrating how Calderdale’s Vision is already being put into action supporting the Vision 34 themes – enterprising, opportunity, kind, welcoming, hope, heritage, nature and creativity.

To measure our progress against this Vision, agreed indicators and measures will be included on our performance dashboard here on DataWorks. These measures include business density, school readiness, attainment, volunteering, visitor numbers, emissions, healthy life expectancy and housing delivery along with a new baseline of results from the annual Vision survey that will gather local people’s views through the 2025 survey.

In addition to quantitative indicators, progress towards the vision will be brought to life through ‘My Calderdale Story’ which will enable residents, partners and organisations to tell their own and collect stories that demonstrate Vision 34.
