Help young people in Kirklees look out for each other

‘Looking out for each other’ – a new campaign for young people

Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, West Yorkshire and Harrogate Health and Care Partnership (WY&H HCP) launched the ‘Looking out for our neighbours’ campaign. This inspired over 49,000 people to get involved by making a positive difference to their neighbours’ lives through acts of kindness.

The campaign launched a new phase on 13 September called ‘Looking out for each other’. 

This campaign has been created to encourage young people aged 15-24 years to #SpreadTheKindness with their friends and peers.

September is a time of big changes and transitions that can affect young people’s mental health and wellbeing, which for many had been impacted by the pandemic.  

‘Looking out for each other’ aims to encourage young people to check-in and share positive messages with friends either online or in person, helping them support and reassure each other through a period that is often exciting but faced with fresh challenges.

How can you get involved?

WY&H HCP would like organisations that work with young people in Calderdale to support the campaign and share the free print and digital materials with their community.  

Every organisation that signs up will be sent free materials including a ‘5 ways spread the kindness’ postcard and social media graphics that can be shared on instant messenger and social media to brighten up someone’s day. 

Sign up to the campaign by completing this online form

For any further queries please contact: westyorkshire.stp@nhs.net
