Healthy Minds

It was all about the strawberries today on the Healthy Minds allotments. We planted about 20 strawberry plants into a new L-shaped bed and bought some straw to mulch it with. The straw should help keep the strawberries from drooping and touching the soil as they ripen, where the slugs may get to them before we do 🍓🍓🍓🤩🌿

Every week is different! Today on the allotment we harvested two huge cauliflower, gave an incinerator lid a new life, and got a solar water feature going!

🎬🎬 And that's a Wrap! 🎬🎬

As we say goodbye to Volunteer's Week 2026, we'd like to once again thank ALL the wonderful volunteers who so generously give their time, energy and hearts to Healthy Minds.❤️

Every single one of you makes SUCH a difference to the lives of so many people.

Every day you challenge the stigma surrounding mental health, create safe spaces so no one has to take that first step alone, and walk alongside people as they discover their own path to wellbeing.

We simply could not do this without you. Thank you for everything you bring to this charity and to our community. We are immensely grateful for all that you do and incredibly proud to have you on our team.

☀️Thank you EVERYONE - you make Calderdale shine, even when it rains! ☀️

❤️It's Day Six of Volunteers Week! ❤️

We're nearly at the end of Volunteer's Week and we couldn't let the week go by without taking a moment to thank the incredible people who, although not 'official' volunteers, nevertheless volunteer their precious time to raise money for Healthy Minds.

These unsung heroes run, swim, shake buckets, make cakes, hold raffles, host events and stalls...you name it, they've done it! 🏃🏼‍♂️🏊🏼🧁🪣

Their fundraising efforts allow us to reach more people across our borough, when they need us the most.

THANK YOU to these wonderful, generous, spirited people - your support means the world to us!
