State of Calderdale 2018

The State of Calderdale assembly is held annually. It is hosted by Calderdale Council to bring together key representatives from the public, private, and voluntary and community sectors. Each organisation has its own priorities, many of which are similar to other organisations in the borough. The event enables a discussion between all partners as to how to meet these priorities, identify where there may be gaps and provide opportunities for working together. By targeting our resources together, we can work together to make the most improvements for Calderdale. The theme for the 2018 assembly was [Calderdale Vision 2024](https://www.calderdale.gov.uk/v2/council/vision-2024) \- Calderdale Council will be 50 in 2024 and the vision is our ambition for where we want to be by our anniversary.
