Staff from Kirklees Council’s Streetscene team raised £600 for the Mayor of Kirklees’ charity Combat Stress by staging a series of World Cup-themed events, including a five-a-side football tournament and table football competitions.

Combat Stress offers specialist care to military veterans who have suffered a range of psychological damage as a result of their combat experiences.


The Mayor of Kirklees, Cllr Andrew Palfreeman, visited the Streetscene offices to present trophies to the competition winners and to receive a cheque for his charity.

Cllr Palfreeman said the money would be directed to help local veterans and thanked Streetscene staff for their efforts and contribution to this very worthwhile cause.
