This Black History Month, we’re proud to stand alongside our Black communities and shine a light on mental health.

At Hope and Light, we believe everyone deserves support—regardless of race or religion. We know that stigma, shame, and barriers can make it harder for Black communities to access mental health services. That’s why we’re committed to breaking down those barriers and making our support truly accessible.

Our culturally responsive services include dedicated Peer Support Groups, creating safe spaces for open, honest conversations. Together, we’re working to break the stigma and build a community where everyone feels seen, heard, and supported.

Mental health in the Black community is deeply connected to culture, faith, and spirituality. But for many, stigma and shame can make it hard to reach out for help.

When we spoke with Black communities in Bradford, we heard powerful stories about the unique challenges they face—and what truly matters to them. The message was clear: support must be culturally responsive, local, authentic, and delivered by people who understand.

We listened. That’s why our services, delivered by the African Caribbean Action Project (ACAP), are designed with and for our Black communities.

✨ What we offer:
• One-to-one support
• Peer groups
• Mental health workshops
• Support for young Black boys
• In-reach services

What would you say to someone who is struggling?

Today is World Mental Health Day 💚

This year’s theme 'Lived experiences heard: Real voices, real change' focuses on the impact of centring lived experiences and the role they can play in shaping how we understand and support mental health.

Throughout the week, we’ve shared experiences and advice from our staff and volunteers, alongside our new Self-Care Guide.

By listening to different experiences and trying simple self-care activities, we can all take positive steps towards better mental health.

What do you do to look after your mental health? 💚

With World Mental Health Day coming up on Saturday, we asked some of our staff and volunteers to share what works for them.

From getting outside and spending time in the community, to making plans and taking mindful time alone, everyone has different ways of looking after their mental health.

This year’s theme is ‘Lived experiences heard: Real voices, real change’ – highlighting the value of people sharing their own experiences of mental health.
