The Huddersfield Local History Hub is building the partnerships and team that will support its work across Kirklees and the wider West Yorkshire area.
The hub is supported by a Community Hub Lead with strong experience in education and a passion for transport and industrial heritage. As the hub develops, we are also seeking a Schools Hub Lead to help connect and support local teachers and shape how Huddersfield’s stories are taught and shared.
We’re keen to hear from schools, teachers and heritage organisations who would like to be involved, whether by supporting the hub’s development, collaborating on projects or contributing local expertise.
