The Friends of Calder Holmes, in Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire raised awareness about their Community Spaces project through the use of their website and Facebook page.

The group received fantastic news in December when they were awarded £49,999 from Community Spaces to extend their current Skate Park 

The group have continued to share the news and updates with their community by keeping their Facebook page regularly updated with daily pictures and information.

Using social media sites is a great way to share your news and get people involved in your project. There is some useful information about how to set up your own social networking sites in our Publicity Toolkit, which can be found on the Community Spaces website 

Alternatively, if you are completely new to the social media world, the view our social media help pages on our blog.

To see all the latest pictures and news about Hebden Skate Park, visit their Facebook page.

We look forward to following the projects progress!

The Help section tries to demystify some of the online technologies that are available. Simple guides, useful links and even video footage giving step by step instructions on using technologies are available. So, if you want to blog about your project, share pictures via Flickr or even upload videos to YouTube then find out how at our Help page.

Remember, if you are uploading anything to do with your Community Spaces Project to the web then please tag it: ‘community spaces fund’ – that way we’ll be able to find your stuff and talk about it here.
