“Do your thing” various activities in Huddersfield and Batley

Putting a shout out to everybody because even though the Do Your Thing project currently has plenty of groups/activities, either up and running or in the pipeline, what we really need now is more people attending them, not least because there’s no activity without members, but because we really need to ensure they will be as robust as possible by the time the project finishes in six months’ time.
