August is ! 🌿✨

Taking care of your mental and physical health doesn't always require grand gestures—sometimes it’s the small, daily habits that make the biggest difference.

Here are 4 simple ways to prioritise your well-being this month:

🚶‍♂️ Move: Take a 15-minute walk and stretch your body daily.

😴 Rest: Aim for 7–8 hours of sleep and limit screen time before bed.

💧 Nourish: Stay hydrated and fuel your body with wholesome foods.

🧘‍♀️ Pause: Dedicate 5 minutes to mindfulness or deep breathing.

At Clear we believe recovery and mental well-being go hand in hand with community and support. Whether it’s through our creative groups, mindfulness, or practical workshops, we're here to support adults across Kirklees on their mental health journey.

It’s time to meet another face behind CLEAR—meet Katie, Recovery Support Worker! 👋

Katie runs daily groups focused on supporting mental health and wellbeing. Her favourite part of the job? Seeing members share their own lived experiences, support one another, and grow confident enough to share their own ideas or lead a session.

Off duty, you’ll usually find her wrapped in blankets by a fire pit or enjoying the beach with a snack in hand.

We’re so grateful for everything Katie brings to our groups every day! 🙌

Meet Amena, our Volunteer Voice feature for August! 👋💙

Although she’s only just joined Clear, Amena is already making an impact—getting stuck into our services and bringing her passion for mental health support to our community.

Watch to learn a little bit about what Amena gets up to when she’s taking time for herself (think cozy movie nights, sunny afternoon teas, and a lot of Summer Walker 🎶).

Huge thank you to Amena and all of our incredible volunteers who make what we do possible! 🙌

You Said...We Did ✨
Here are some of the client suggestions from last quarter that were implemented in service.
*Beat The Monday Blues music group asked for more sessions on specific artists and genres, sessions were organised on Scooter, Pop-Punk and Queen.
*Mens Peer Support Group wanted some different activities so they will plan to do things together in future E.g. Pool trip to Rock cafe.
*You asked for more walks, so we did a recent hike around Digley Reservior which was lovely!

It’s time for a quick look back at what our team and community have been up to, with a few highlights from our latest quarter:

🎨 Outreach & Groups in Full Swing
From Plant Pot Painting sessions (which scored a 10/10 for usefulness from every single attendee!) to our Saturday Group and Creative Writing sessions, we’ve loved seeing people connect, unwind, and build confidence together. Our Batley outreach sessions also continue to grow strong!

🤝 Co-Producing Our Support
We updated and launched our Sleep Course this quarter—working hand-in-hand with a former attendee to shape the content and co-deliver the first session. Huge thanks to everyone sharing their lived experiences to help make our courses practical and real.

🧠 Ongoing Learning & Training
Our team completed domestic violence awareness training with NCDV and mandatory sexual harassment training to keep our spaces safe and inclusive. Plus, our Project Worker published a new Best Practice Guide for Working with Neurodivergent People and is currently creating a similar guide focused on Gypsy, Traveller, and Roma communities.

💬 Want to get involved?
We’d love to have your voice shape what we do next! Join our next Client Involvement Group meeting on Thursday, 3rd September.

🌈 Some of our Clear service users attended the celebrations in July, enjoying an afternoon filled with music, entertainment and community spirit. Huddersfield Pride celebrates 45 years of Pride, protest and q***r community in the town, bringing people together to champion equality and inclusion.

We're proud to support opportunities that help people connect, celebrate who they are and feel part of their community.
