👋Come and say HELLO!

This afternoon, from 1pm until 4pm, our Concerned Other Team are at Britannia House , celebrating with our friends from Carers' Resource Equality Together Making Space and The Caring Kind Project.

❤️ Carers UK mark Carers Rights Day each year to celebrate unpaid carers and raise awareness of their rights. This year's theme is: 'Know your rights, use your rights'.

💜 At New Vision Bradford, our Concerned Other service is here for anyone impacted by a loved one's alcohol or drug use. Many of the people we support find themselves in a caring role - often without recognition or support. On Carers' Rights Day, we want to highlight that you are not alone. Our team provides both emotional and practical help, empowering you to navigate challenges and prioritise your own wellbeing.

We are committed to ensuring that every concerned other feels heard, supported, and never isolated in their journey.

🌍 Celebrating International Men's Day 🌍

Today, we created space to celebrate our male colleagues as part of —a day that reminds us of the importance of wellbeing for everyone.

Our staff dedicate their working lives to supporting others, so it’s important that we also look after our own wellbeing. Today, we offered extended lunch breaks and pizza to encourage connection, conversation, and reflection.

At our Keighley event, a positive discussion emerged around men’s health and wellbeing, with colleagues agreeing to meet again to continue sharing ideas for mutual support.

Thank you to everyone who made the events possible!

Across the UK, there has been a rise in many illicit drugs, not just opioids, being contaminated with nitazenes.

Nitazenes are synthetic opioids that can be up to 500 times more potent than other opioids.

If you use any drugs, or know someone who does, it is important to be aware of the risks, know how to keep yourself and others safe, and what to do if things go wrong.
