On 12th April 2008 the twinning of Socx and Caton-with-Littledale was formalised. Socx is located about 6 miles south of Dunkirk and has a population of about 1000.
Anyone in the parish or living nearby is invited to join our trips to Socx and to host our visitors when they come here. You are also welcome to join in the programme for our friends during their visits. Our fund-raising events are open to all. We particularly encourage families with children to take part as school visits often feature.

Twinning Charter
On this day, 12th April 2008, the people of Caton and Brookhouse are honoured to formalise the twinning of our villages with Socx (France).
We are confident this relationship will enable the development of true and durable bonds of friendship and encourage mutual respect and understanding between our communities.
Our common aim is to promote cultural, linguistic and tourist exchanges between the people, schools and associations from each village.
