Calderdale Bootstrap

The upper Calder Valley has one of the greatest concentrations of co-ops in the UK, along with countless sole traders, micro-businesses, partnerships and self-employed people. These enterprises can help other enterprises grow.

Calderdale’s recovery following flooding is testimony to its resilience. Calderdale Bootstrap aims to enable existing creative, caring and practical networks grow even stronger.

Calderdale Bootstrap is a group of entrepreneurs, co-operators, activists and change-makers, looking to engage our community to co-create our next economy.
