HUDDERSFIELD will soon have a new charitable foundation set up to help good causes throughout the area.

One Community relies on large funds donated by wealthy businesses and individuals in the town and the interest reaped on the sums they donate is paid out every year following an application process.

Those who donate can dictate the kind of organisation that can benefit from their sum so they can see the money going to a cause close to their hearts.

The first three to donate are John L Brierley Ltd, Ken Davy and Longley Farm – three names synonymous with Huddersfield. Let us hope that their generosity has started a new trend and that others will now follow.

It is going back to traditional giving with the wealthier members of society helping those less well off to achieve their ambitions – often through hard work and determined effort.
