Community buildings in our local places across Kirklees are vitally important hubs for communities, offering social, mental and physical support to citizens. Kirklees Council wants support the re-opening of these buildings in a safe and practical way as part of our recovery.
Community Buildings Webinar
On Tuesday 14th July 2020 from 6.30pm to 8pm Kirklees Council hosted a webinar to provide guidance on how to safely re-open community buildings, sharing advice about the things to consider, including how to decide when is the right time to re-open. We also discussed the lessons learnt from community buildings that have stayed open during lockdown. This learning can help everyone with the re-opening of community buildings in our local places.
The webinar panel included:
- Joanne Bartholomew, Chief Operating Officer, Kirklees Neighbourhood Housing
- Jane O’Donnell, Head of Health Protection, Kirklees Council
- Emma Griff, Facilities Management Officer, Kirklees Council
- Jaime Nalson, Venue Management, Kirklees Council
- Lisa Newbold, Local Services 2 You
There was an opportunity for people to ask questions in advance and via the YouTube chat during the session.
