Our Story
A fresh start and a powerful community-driven brand for Holmfirth.
Why create Holmfirth.uk?
When we moved to Holmfirth, we found it difficult to find detail about local events. With little digital investment from the council and alternative offerings failing to truly serve the community, we decided to take action.
We're keen to work with other community groups, however our model aims to be self-funded through value creation, rather than relying on continual council investment for survival.
Our Commitment
We are dedicated to promoting all that is good about Holmfirth and the Holme Valley, always acting in the best interest of its communities. Holmfirth.uk operates through a not-for-profit Community Interest Company with the aim to devolve through conversion to a Community Benefit Society in the future.
Why now?
Following prolonged disruption from improvement works, Holmfirth deserves a fresh start. We believe a powerful, community-driven brand can help revitalise the town and bring people back together.
What's next?
Holmfirth.uk is just the start of something bigger. We have tonnes of amazing ideas to strengthen the community and expand our offering. More will be revealed over the upcoming months as we grow and evolve.
Meet Holmes
Our very own mascot! You'll see him popping up around the site, and across our marketing channels.
Holmes was created to bring a bit of extra personality to our digital presence. Always ready to point out a local event or highlight a hidden gem, Holmes represents the helpful and welcoming spirit of the Holme Valley.
