Scouting offers challenge and adventure to young people age 6 to 25. The 1st Shipley (Windhill) Group provides weekly meetings with a programme of exciting and challenging activities designed to develop teamworking skills, self-reliance, life skills and public service awareness. The meetings are supplemented by away days, weekend and longer periods in camp or bunkhouse where basic skill in caving, climbing, mountain navigation, canoeing, outdoor cooking and a host of other activities are provided. We also give basic training in skills such as first aid and fire precautions and opportunities to develop hobbies such as photography, ornithology and gardening. Training is available for leaders. All activities are controlled by the Scout Association's "Policy, Organisation and Rules" and by relevant Government regulations. Currently our programme provides for young people age 6 up to about 18 years. Those aged 18 to 25, if not in a leadership role are catered for at District level. Leadership roles are available from age 16 to 18 as Young Leaders and 18+ as Adult Leaders. Full training to national recognised standards is provided for all leaders. For those not wishing to have a regular commitment we have vacancies for advisors and helpers at all levels and a variety of disciplines as well as administration openings.

Second Time Around is a charitable project managed by Keighley & District Volunteer Centre. The project provides volunteer placements for adults with a learning disability to enable them to develop skills for employment and everyday life.
You can help us by donating your unwanted quality items, or by joining our team of friendly volunteers.

The project has three main aims:-

To actively encourage and support the recycling and re-use of unwanted goods.
To provide work based training opportunities for adults who have a learning disability.
To raise funds for charitable projects that support vulnerable people within our local community

Our team of volunteers collect your donated items from our collection points, or from your home for larger items.

We bring them back to our recycling centre for processing.
Our volunteers are then supported to sort through the donated items and prepare the goods for re-sale or recycling.

The volunteers are engaged in a number of tasks including:-
Sorting
Washing
Ironing
Repairing
Recycling

The 55 Club is a place for hard of hearing and profoundly D/deaf people to meet in a safe non threatening environment and, as the name intimates, it is for people over the age of 55. In the run up to lunch people catch up with friends or take the opportunity to make new friends. At 12 noon we serve a freshly cooked two course meal. We are happy to adapt or change what is being served in order to cater for specific dietary needs or religious observances but we would appreciate advance notice of this. After lunch there is a time to relax and enjoy a game of dominoes or simply chat with others. Every month there is bingo and at least three times a year the 55 Club committee arrange special outings to the seaside or places of interest. Throughout the year there are invited speakers to talk on various health and lifestyle topics. These sessions are voiced over for hard of hearing people and BSL interpreted for D/deaf people as appropriate.. In the coming months there will also be opportunity for everyone to learn basic first aid.
