Restrictions around Covid-19 have limited face-to-face contact. But activities are still being staged by the Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust’s People and the DALES (Diversity, Access, Learning, Environment, Sustainability) project. It caters for groups such as refugees and asylum seekers living in Keighley and other towns and cities in West Yorkshire – including Bradford – and East Lancashire.
