BRADFORD District Care NHS Foundation Trust is celebrating the 10-year anniversary of its ‘Champions Show the Way’ scheme, which gives people places to gather and connect, be inspired and creative, to support their emotional wellbeing.

Champions Show the Way is a community programme where volunteers run free social groups for people who are recovering from illness, have a long-term condition, or may be otherwise struggling with social isolation. Many people may also want to take up a new activity or develop new friendships after redundancy, a change in relationship or a bereavement.

The programme is aligned to the Care Trust’s partnership work with the West Yorkshire and Harrogate Health and Care Partnership and the recently launched ‘Looking out for our Neighbours’ campaign.
