Locala is a not-for-profit social enterprise that is proud to provide a variety of NHS community healthcare services to people in Kirklees, Calderdale and Bradford.

Yesterday, we were delighted to host Steph Lawrence MBE, Chief Executive of the Queen’s Institute of Community Nursing (QICN), at Dewsbury Health Centre.

During her visit, we shared our ambitions as a social enterprise, including how we aim to give back more to our communities, ensure equity of outcomes, transform our workforce, and showcase the outstanding work taking place across our services.

Stephanie also spent the time shadowing our brilliant colleagues in the Children’s Diabetes MDT clinic.

We would like to thank Stephanie for taking the time to visit us. 👏

On 12th November, Cancer Champions from Ability Options Support Services and the Kirklees Involvement Network, supported by Cloverleaf Advocacy, joined us for an inclusive session on cervical cancer and screening.

Led by Dr Maddy Crow, Consultant in Locala Sexual Health, the session broke down barriers with easy-read materials and practical tips to make cervical screening less daunting.

✅ 87.5% rated the session as good
✅ 100% said the information was easy to understand
✅ Champions left feeling more confident to talk about cancer

This project, funded by the West Yorkshire and Harrogate Cancer Alliance, is helping empower communities to share life-saving messages.

Please share this message: If you’re invited for cervical screening, go—and encourage others to do the same.

Not sure if this is for you?

That’s OK.

We often support people who feel unsure, stuck, or overwhelmed.

The first step is just a conversation - no commitment, no expectations.
