Last week, Invictus had the pleasure of hosting seven Year 12 students for their work experience placements.

They were given a valuable insight into what it’s like to work in the mental health and charity sector and what an amazing group of young people they were!

Over the course of the week, they completed a variety of tasks, including developing social media campaigns, generating fundraising ideas, reviewing our policies and procedures, and even visiting schools to support our workshops, and so much more.

Each and every one of them was a joy to work with, full of enthusiasm and brimming with creative ideas.

A huge thank you to all the students who joined us , we can’t wait to see what you go on to achieve!

💡 Did you know Invictus Wellbeing hosts its very own Youth Leader and Youth Advisory Board?

If you're aged between 14–19 and want to gain experience in the voluntary, charity, or mental health sector, we’d love to hear from you! This is a great opportunity to get involved, have your voice heard, and make a real difference in your community.

Invictus Wellbeing at North Halifax Grammar School – Year 7 Workshop Day

This week, Invictus Wellbeing was invited to North Halifax Grammar School to take part in a full day of workshops for Year 7 students. The event featured a range of organisations delivering informative and engaging sessions aimed at supporting students’ wellbeing and personal development.

As part of the day, Invictus delivered six workshops focused on managing stress and building healthy coping strategies equipping students with helpful tools as they navigate their school journey.

The children were also lucky enough to meet Dexter the Therapy Dog, who joined the Invictus team and brought plenty of smiles. Students enjoyed some well-deserved cuddles with Dexter at the end of each workshop, adding a calming and joyful end to their session.

Other fantastic workshop providers included:

West Yorkshire Police – Online Safety

Trading Standards – The Risks of Va**ng and Illicit To***co

Northpoint Wellbeing – Understanding Neurodiversity

Halifax Panthers Foundation – Keeping Safe

We were proud to be part of this collaborative initiative and to contribute to the wellbeing and education of young people in our community. Thank you for inviting us!

🎉 Congratulations to Arlo and Family! 🎉

We would like to extend a huge congratulations to Arlo and his family for taking part in the world’s largest inflatable obstacle course a few weeks ago – all to raise vital funds for Invictus Wellbeing.

Arlo, along with his mum and dad, bravely tackled the 5K course in hot conditions and raised an incredible £250 to support children and young people’s mental health.

Arlo should be incredibly proud of this amazing achievement – as are we, here at Invictus. 💙

Thank you for being such inspiring champions of our cause!
