Mental health support in Calderdale is more essential than ever, with growing numbers of people facing challenges like depression, anxiety, and emotional distress. At Healthy Minds, we’re proud to be a lifeline for those in need, offering a range of services that empower individuals to feel understood, connected, and supported on their path to recovery.
Our brand new impact report highlights the work we’ve done over the past year (2023-2024), showcasing how services like Safespace,Like Minds, and Link have helped offer vital support to those in need. This year brought challenges, from short-term funding to evolving contracts, but the dedication of our supporters, staff and volunteers has enabled us to adapt and grow. With your continued help, we’re building a future where mental health support is accessible to everyone in Calderdale who needs it. Explore the full report below:

The fun never stopped on Sunday 9th October when all three Calderdale pools opened their doors to swimmers of all ages and abilities, keen to swim and fundraise for Healthy Minds. Our fabulous swimmers chose their pool, chose their distance and pledged their fundraising target. On the day, we couldn’t have been prouder, everyone dived right in and heroically faced their challenge.
Thank you to all who joined us on World Suicide Prevention Day at Dean Clough to create a moving artwork: 257 handmade lanterns, each representing someone who died by suicide in the latest year of registered deaths (2023).
We lit each of these lanterns in the knowledge that even a single death is already one too many.
