Change Grow Live - Kirklees

Change Grow Live - Kirklees Free & confidential service in Kirklees, who help support people for their drug or/and alcohol use. In 2000 we became part of the Lifeline Project.

Our IPS team have their own page, follow the link below to stay up to date with our Employment Support:
https://www.facebook.com/CGLkirkleesIPS Every year, Lifeline Kirklees works with hundreds of people who have problems with drugs or alcohol in supporting them to change their behaviour and achieve their recovery goals. We provide help for individuals, families and communities throughout Kirklees who have been affected by substance misuse. Our drug and alcohol services started in 1985 as a small organisation called Unit 51. A range of alcohol and drug services are available in Kirklees through our support centres in Huddersfield and Dewsbury town centres as well as in some GP surgeries and health centres. Both of our centres are easily accessible by public transport and have wheelchair accessibility. We provide an evening service on Tuesdays for those who work during the day and we also work with people who may find it difficult to come into the service at all, perhaps due to mental or physical health issues, through working with them in their home or in the community.

There's more to celebrating Ireland than a pint of Guinness.

If you are sober and looking to celebrate Irish culture, here are our best alternatives:

- Cook and homemade Irish Stew and Soda Bread.
- Listen and dance to music made by Irish artists.
- Read one of the many fine works of literature that have come out of Ireland.

Last Saturday (7th March), as part of International Women's Day, we attended the Huddersfield Town Football Club's home game. Alongside partners from West Yorkshire Police - Huddersfield, Pennine Domestic Abuse Partnership, Kirklees, Calderdale and Wakefield RASAC, and KDASS, we worked collectively as part of the Kirklees Safeguarding Partnership to engage with fans and share information on how to get local support.

Also ahead of the game, an art installation featuring more than 100 pairs of red shoes was displayed at the stadium. Each pair symbolises a woman in the UK who has been killed by her partner or ex-partner, reflecting the stark statistic that, on average, around 100 women lose their lives every year.

It was a privilege to work collectively with the Kirklees Safeguarding Partnership to engage with fans and share information on the installation and how to access local support.

Ahead of Huddersfield Town Football Club’s match against Rotherham United F.C., a truly powerful and moving art installation featuring more than 100 pairs of red shoes was displayed at the stadium. Each pair symbolises a woman in the UK who has been killed by her partner or ex-partner, reflecting the stark statistic that, on average, around 100 women lose their lives every year.

Today is National No Smoking Day, and we want you to know that if you’ve restarted smoking after stopping, it’s nothing to feel ashamed about.



Whether you want to stop for good, have already quit but want some extra support, or need help with managing your cravings, we’re here to support you.



Some of our top tips for managing your cravings include:



Use stop smoking products like gum, patches or a v**e.

Think about your motivation for quitting and remind yourself that the cravings will pass.

Take your stop smoking product with you to social activities and consider what you will say if you’re offered a cigarette, so you don’t feel overwhelmed.

Last Friday, we had a brilliant time at The Brunswick Centre - Kirklees Calderdale's Well Proud conference.

Cheryl did a fantastic job, representing Change Grow Live Kirklees on the DRAG panel, talking about how substances and alcohol affect the LGBTQ+ community.

A fantastic day with incredible and inspiring guest speakers. Thank you, Brunswick. It was truly inspiring to see so many people brought together for the LGBTQ+ community.
