A Rare Opportunity to Win Something Truly Special 💎

We are delighted to share the launch of the Mayor of Calderdale’s Diamond Raffle, raising funds for his chosen charities, Invictus and Sight Support Calderdale, as part of his annual fundraising campaign.

At the heart of the raffle is a beautiful 2.01 carat diamond, generously donated by the Garnett family and valued at £8,500 by Lister Horsfall.

Tickets are now available for just £20 each, with a maximum of 999 tickets on sale. This is a wonderful opportunity to win an exceptional prize while supporting two very worthy causes.

The winner will be drawn by the Mayor of Calderdale at Halifax Town Hall in early 2027, with further details to be confirmed.

Enter the raffle here: https://www.givewheel.com/fundraising/21137/the-calderdale-mayors-charities-diamond-raffle/

Our sincere thanks go to the Garnett family for their generous donation and to Lister Horsfall for valuing this stunning diamond.

Good luck to everyone who enters, and thank you for helping us support these important local causes.

*Please note that a minimum of 300 tickets must be sold before the draw can take place. Should this target not be reached, all ticket purchases will be fully refunded.*

Young people’s mental health needs urgent action!

The Centre for Young Lives, through its Future Minds campaign, has published a new Mid-Term Report assessing the Government’s progress on young people’s mental health at the midpoint of this Parliament.

The report gives a “Requires Urgent Improvement” verdict and highlights the scale of the challenge ahead.

It warns that up to 3.9 million more children and young people in England could be referred for mental health support before the end of this Parliament, with more than 1.1 million potentially referred but not receiving treatment.

At Invictus Wellbeing, we know how important it is that young people can access support early, before things reach crisis point. Young people deserve to have someone listen, take them seriously and provide help when they need it.

That’s why Invictus Wellbeing is proud to add our name to the Future Minds report, alongside organisations across the Children and Young People’s Mental Health Coalition, calling for urgent action on children and young people’s mental health.

The Future Minds campaign is calling for:
A “triple-lock” on spending for children and young people’s mental health
Mental health to be made a priority across Government
Early Support Hubs to be available to every young person

We’re working hard across West Yorkshire to provide accessible, early support but we also need sustained investment in mental health, youth work and open-access support to ensure young people can get help before they reach crisis point.

Young people’s mental health cannot wait. 💚

Our Calder Wellbeing Practitioner, Chloe, recently took on a sponsored hike with her partner, trekking over 32.5km or 55,500 steps from Glossop to Edale to raise funds for Invictus.

And they’ve absolutely smashed their original £200 fundraising target! A huge thank you to everyone who has donated so far.

We’d also like to say a huge thank you to Brother UK for their incredibly generous donation and for supporting Chloe’s fundraising efforts. 💙

Along the way, Chloe and her partner captured their incredible journey, giving us a glimpse of the beautiful landscapes, breath taking views and stunning scenery they experienced along the route. 🏔️📸

The fundraiser is still open for a few more days, so there’s still time to show your support! If you’d like to donate, please visit: https://localgiving.org/fundraising/hikingforinvictus

A few weeks ago some of our Shipley team recently had the opportunity to attend an inspiring lecture at the University of Bradford, hosted by the Bradford Mental Health Research Centre.

It was fantastic to hear more about the incredible work being undertaken through a £2.5 million grant from the NIHR’s Mental Health Research Groups programme, focused on addressing the mental health challenges faced by children and young people across the Bradford district.

The programme brings together communities, education, health and religious groups to better understand the mental health challenges within the region, map existing resources and develop a framework for future research, investment and meaningful change.

At Invictus Wellbeing, we know how important it is for organisations to work together, share learning and listen to our communities if we’re going to improve mental health outcomes for children and young people.

A huge thank you to the Bradford Mental Health Research Centre and the University of Bradford for an insightful and inspiring session. We’re proud to be part of a wider community working towards better mental health across Bradford and beyond. 💚

😂 FRIDAY FUN! 🎬

You might remember a few weeks ago when our trainee CYWP Practitioner, Abbey, kindly agreed to be filmed for our “Meet the Team” feature, where she chatted about her role here at Invictus.

Well… it turns out it wasn’t quite as simple as pressing record and getting it right first time!

There were a few takes, plenty of laughs, a few forgotten words and more than one blooper along the way… so we thought, why not share them with you? 🎥

Because behind the professional roles, qualifications and important work we do, we’re all human! We make mistakes, forget what we were going to say, get the giggles and sometimes just have to start again!

So this Friday, we’re celebrating the lighter side of our teams and reminding ourselves that it’s absolutely okay to laugh at ourselves along the way!

A big thank you to Abbey for being such a good sport and letting us share the real behind-the-scenes version! 😂👏

We recently teamed up with Verd de gris arts to deliver twelve weeks of creative workshops as part of their 'Becoming You - Beyond The Mask' project. The workshops were offered exclusively to clients seeking support via our Women in Mind pathway.

Each week, the group used symbolism and metaphor to explore key themes around identity, lived experience, growth and connection. These discussions created a foundation from which clients could create individual and collaborative pieces of artwork and creative writing.

Clients used imagery from nature, such as roots, mountains and trees, to explore who they are, what challenges and barriers they have overcome, what connections they have forged and how they have grown through adversity.

This is not our first time collaborating with Verd De Gris Arts - through our continued partnership work we have identified a shared commitment to providing safe spaces for young women in our community, where they are free to explore and share without judgement or expectations.

We are incredibly grateful to Sharon and Sam at Verd De Gris Arts for their dedication to providing compassionate guidance and encouragement to our young women. We're very excited to see what more we can achieve together!

We've included some photographs of the gorgeous pieces of artwork that our clients have created - perhaps you'd like to have a go at creating your own?
