What is the Community Journalist?
The Community Journalist project is a free service from VAC for voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) groups across Calderdale.
We know that our sector has so many great stories to tell, but often doesn’t have the time or resources to share them widely. With the Community Journalist project, we’ll work closely with your organisation to produce engaging, original articles that showcase your work, raise your profile, and help you reach new audiences.
By celebrating your resilience, strength, and positive impact, we’ll help your organisation connect with the wider community, attract support, and inspire others across Calderdale.
