Our History
The Early Action Hub is a voluntary organisation that works in partnership with the West Yorkshire Police Early Action Team based at Calderdale in West Yorkshire.
Formed back in 2016 the hub provides positive activities for young people from all backgrounds. Each activity session delivered incorporates a crime educational input that’s delivered after or during the activity sessions.
The team consists of volunteers and staff from the Early Action Team. To date, the organisation has worked with over 2000 young people from Calderdale and has provided numerous educational inputs and support to young people across many sites that we work at.
Partnership working is a key factor within the organisation enabling more activities and agencies have access to the young people that we are working with providing that wrap around care.
If your organisation could offer any support to us then please get in touch.
