Sheila Eastwood

Sheila is a retired mathematics teacher, education advisor and teacher trainer. She now manages the accounts and payroll of her daughter’s retail business in the Piece Hall.

She has lived in Sowerby Bridge since 1983, joining the karate club at Foundry Street the following year, and has trained at the club ever since. Sheila was instrumental in raising awareness of the proposed disposal of the community centre, and started the petition which led to the community asset transfer.

She has always enjoyed sport and fitness activities, and has been particularly keen to keep the sporting facilities at Foundry Street available.
