We’re really proud to share the finished Community Quilt created at The Fields 🧵

Over five sessions, thirteen local residents worked together to design and sew this vibrant quilt, which is now proudly displayed at Field Lane I & N School. It’s been lovely to see how much creativity, care, and teamwork went into every part of it.

The feedback from those who took part has been so positive. Many talked about how the sessions helped them feel more confident, supported their wellbeing, and gave them a chance to meet new people and enjoy some time for themselves.

Because of how well this project went, Clear and The Fields will be launching another community quilt THIS WEEK —this time creating a quilt for Manorfield I & N School.

📍 Manorfield, Batley
🗓 Thursdays, 16 April – 21 May | 11:30am–1:00pm
✅ Free for anyone aged 18+ living in Kirklees
📞 Booking essential – contact Huda Khan on 07497 512 080 or book online https://forms.office.com/e/3ARV3YfnFg

A big thank you to everyone who took part and helped make this project such a success 💙

It’s time for another staff spotlight! 💡

Meet Denise, our Administrator. She’s the person who helps get everyone settled into our activities and groups. She’s a big fan of family time, great books, and the soothing sounds of Jodok Cello. 🎻

We love having her energy in the office!

We enjoyed a nature walk around Marsden a couple of weeks ago, walking up to the Butterley and Blakeley reservoirs and making the most of the Spring sunshine and the outdoors by taking a picnic lunch☀️
We hope the warm weather comes back again soon! 🙏🏽

CLEAR MT Digital launch podcast

A series of co-produced podcasts was unveiled this week, when men from Men’s Talk Digital announced their premiere at the annual showreel event.

Chris Nicholson, a member of the group explained “The idea for the podcasts developed during a lively breakfast at a local café, where several MTD members realised that the discussions they were having and the way they were sharing their experiences, could be helpful and interesting to others who may be struggling with their mental health”.

The men decided to involve other members of Men’s Talk and Men’s Talk Digital and use the opportunity as an introduction to the world of podcasting.

Chris continued “The group’s message is simple; we want men to feel able to speak openly and honestly about their mental health and “Check It Out.”

The first episode is now available on You Tube: https://youtu.be/fldtF5vlmfg

For further details: please contact Stuart Hawkes on 07931 868752 or by email at mens.talk@inspirenorth.co.uk.
