Healthwatch Bradford & District

10/10/2026

Today is World Mental Health Day and the Healthwatch Bradford and District team send their love to anyone who needs it.

Sometimes all we need is a reminder that mental health matters every day, not just today. A kind word, a listening ear or simply checking in with someone can make a real difference.

We believe everyone deserves to feel heard, supported and able to access the help they need. Be kind to yourself and to others. You never know what someone might be going through.

What a lovely end to the working week!

We had a fantastic Friday on the top floor of Darley Street Market, meeting people, having some brilliant conversations and hearing your experiences of health and social care across Bradford & District.

A huge thank you to everyone who stopped to say hello, shared their stories or took the time to have a chat with us. It’s always a pleasure to hear what really matters to you.

And of course, we couldn’t visit without sampling some of the delicious street food!

🇹🇭 Sammie enjoyed some lovely Thai food

🥧 Nigel went for a good old steak pie

🇬🇷 And Alkestid opted for Greek!

A wonderful way to round off our hospital discharge engagement project and a lovely reminder that listening to local people can happen anywhere, especially over good food and friendly conversation!

Thanks for having us, Darley Street Market. We’ll look forward to visiting again! 💚

We had such a lovely morning yesterday at the Sangat Centre Tots Group 💗

The babies and tots were all so chilled and smiley and it was wonderful to see how excited the children were as they arrived.

The mums were so warm and welcoming we were made to feel part of the Sangat Centre Stay & Play community almost straight away.
It was lovely to chat with everyone.

A huge thank you to everyone at the Sangat Centre for having Healthwatch Bradford & District along. We’re looking forward to seeing you all again soon! 👶🧸✨
