About CalderGold
Helping Calderdale live well after 40
CalderGold is a health and wellbeing initiative created specifically for people over 40 across Calderdale.
We bring together practical health information, local services, activities and community support
to make it easier for people to look after their physical, mental and social wellbeing.
Life after 40 can bring changes in health, energy, confidence, mobility and everyday priorities.
CalderGold aims to make relevant information and local support easier to find, helping people
take positive steps that suit their own circumstances and starting point.
What we want to achieve
Our aim is to build a trusted local health and wellbeing hub for people over 40.
Through CalderGold, people can explore health and wellbeing information,
find local services, discover activities and events and learn about practical
ways to support their wellbeing.
We want CalderGold to be realistic, welcoming and useful. Our focus is not on
quick fixes or unrealistic expectations, but on helping people make positive
changes that feel achievable for them.
Supporting people across Calderdale
CalderGold is rooted in Calderdale and designed around the needs of local people.
We also want to highlight the valuable work already taking place across the borough
through community organisations, charities, health and wellbeing professionals,
activity providers and local services.
By bringing this information together in one place, we can make local support easier
to discover and help people feel more confident about taking their next step.
The CalderGold Health & Fitness Centre
Alongside the website, our longer-term vision is to create a dedicated CalderGold
Health & Fitness Centre for people over 40.
The aim is to bring fitness, mobility, rehabilitation, professional wellbeing support
and community connection together in one welcoming environment.
The Centre is still being developed, and community feedback will help shape
the facilities and services people genuinely want and would use.
Why focus on people over 40?
People over 40 are not one single group.
Some are highly active, while others may be returning to exercise after illness,
injury or years of inactivity. Others may be living with menopause, joint problems,
reduced mobility or long-term health conditions.
CalderGold recognises those differences. We want people to find information and support
that feels relevant, respectful and achievable — without judgement or intimidation.
Our values
Four principles guide the kind of CalderGold community we want to create.
Helping people feel welcomed, listened to and encouraged.
Building physical ability, confidence, resilience and independence.
Recognising that meaningful improvement looks different for everyone.
Connecting people with local services, activities and one another.
Help shape CalderGold
CalderGold is being developed with the community, not simply for it.
We want to hear from local residents, health and wellbeing professionals,
community organisations, charities, activity providers and potential partners.
Your views can help improve the website, strengthen our Local Directory
and influence the development of the proposed CalderGold Centre.
