Welcome back to Calder Navigation, where each episode serves as a compass guiding you through the vibrant tapestry of Calderdale.
We’re delighted to present Season 2 as part of our Culturedale Commission, celebrating Calderdale's rich cultural heritage during the year of culture. From intimate conversations to profound revelations, each episode is an invitation to connect, reflect, and celebrate the human experience.
Our guest this episode, Adrian Bell, is the Integration Programme Manager at St Augustine's Centre in Halifax. St Augustine's is at the forefront of combatting loneliness and isolation for individuals seeking sanctuary in Calderdale. Adrian shares how the centre fosters a sense of belonging and provides practical support for those rebuilding their lives, including how sport has featured as an important element of this.
We recorded this episode during a boxing session at Star Boxing Club in Halifax, a regular session making boxing and exercise accessible to the refugee community. Adrian explores how partnerships like this are breaking barriers and creating connections across communities.
Listen for more inspiring stories, including an upcoming special episode during Refugee Week, exploring themes of home and togetherness in the valley.
