Keighley workshops to help fly the flag with Pride

PEOPLE are being encouraged to contribute to a Pride flag. Free workshops are being held at Keighley Creative, in Hanover Street, where participants can make fabric figures with international textile artist Morwenna Catt. The figures will form part of a flag which will be flown at the third Keighley Pride – at Cliffe Castle on August 21 – and feature in a week-long exhibition at Keighley Creative. Behind the project are ICLS and Keighley Pride. Project manager, Sophie Powell, said: “We’re very excited to be partnering with Keighley Creative to bring face-to-face workshops. We’ve been holding sessions over Zoom, but nothing beats being creative in a room with other people!

Online launch for Keighley flag project

An online launch of Sew Keighley Pride takes place next Thursday (February 18). Participants in the 6.30pm event can learn how to get involved in the initiative, celebrating the LGBTQ+ community. The patchwork piece, comprising hundreds of brightly-coloured squares, will be unveiled at a Keighley Pride event at Cliffe Castle in August. Empowerment organisation ICLS is co-working on the project. Project manager Sophie Powell said: “Although we’re in lockdown there are many ways for people to get involved, from coming to online sewing workshops and volunteering, to donating fabrics.” Email sophie@iclseducation.org for more details. People can register for the launch by searching eventbrite.co.uk for Sew Keighley Pride.

Keighley-district groups could share in cash seized from criminals

CASH seized from criminals is once again being offered to groups across the region. Grants of up to £6,000 are available in the latest round of the West Yorkshire Police and Crime Commissioner’s Safer Communities Fund. A total pot of £140,000 is up for grabs, comprising Proceeds of Crime Act money secured by police and prosecutors. The police and crime commissioner, Mark Burns-Williamson, said: “In these truly unprecedented times, we want to do all we can to help those most in need. “I would welcome a broad range of project applications across all of the priority areas set out in my police and crime plan. However, I am particularly looking for initiatives that support the more vulnerable – such as younger people or the elderly, women and girls, those with disabilities or victims harmed by crime. Early intervention and prevention projects and those offering therapy or support are also very welcome.
