volunteering with yorkshire wellbeing and skills group
Yorkshire Wellbeing and Skills Group bring together crafts with wellbeing activities at various venues across Kirklees which have included Thornton Lodge Community Centre in Huddersfield and the Crescent CiC in Batley.
Their programmes include crocheting, knitting, card-making and floristry and their work is supported by 8 Volunteers who help with the setting up the activities, coffee mornings, admin tasks and assisting with the crafts.
Volunteers give their time in a safe and supported environment which encourages them to grow and support their own mental health.
One Volunteer commented:
“Volunteering has really helped me build my confidence. Mentally I feel so much better.”

You can find out more about their activities through their Facebook page.
