We’ve launched a new Telehealth service in partnership with MyWellbeing College

We’ve partnered up with MyWellbeing College to launch an innovative Telehealth service, offering support to people in the Bradford, Airedale, Wharfedale and Craven Communities.

Our new service offers evening and weekend support at the other end of the telephone, with experienced wellbeing coaches on hand to give guidance and help to those in need. Appointments are being offered by peer support workers based here at the Trust, in joint partnership with MyWellbeing College.

We recognise for those people who may work full time Monday to Friday or would struggle to travel to appointments need a different way of receiving support, which is why telephone appointments will be a great addition to our service. As well as daytime appointments we offer appointments for people on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday evenings, as well as all day Saturday.

We have eight peer support workers in the team, all with different backgrounds, from telephone counsellors to social workers. We are able to offer appointments in both Urdu and Punjabi, as well as English. Our peer support workers all have lived experience, so can relate to how people might be thinking, behaving and feeling.

To access the service you can register online at www.bmywellbeingcollege.nhs.uk or give the enrolment team a call on 0300 555 5551.

 

 

 

 

#OperationPhoenix appeal

Can you give us a helping hand?

We’re doing everything we can to make sure those who need our help are not affected by the damage to our building following the fire on Friday (16 Nov), but we need your help to keep our vital services running.

Services like Haven, which delivers around 50 support sessions a week for people in crisis, have had to be relocated.

It’s a big upheaval and we want to raise £1,000 to make sure we can cover costs, for example, travel costs for those in crisis.

Please give them a helping hand by donating £10, or whatever you can afford.

YOU CAN DONATE HERE

Thank you for your support

**UPDATE** – our building is re-opening on Friday 7th December! All services will be run from The Cellar Trust, excluding the Café which will be closed for a little while longer. More updates to follow. 

 

Following the fire at our building on Farfield Road on Friday (16 Nov) our premises (including the Café) are currently closed.

The fire was dealt with very quickly, with all staff and visitors evacuated safely. The majority of the damage is concentrated to the Café, which we’re expecting to be out of action for at least the next couple of weeks. More updates to follow.

All of our other services are running at alternative venues and further information can be found below. If you have any queries you can still contact us on our main telephone number 01274 586474.

Building repair work has now begun and we’re hoping to reopen as soon as possible. We will keep you informed and will soon be able to provide more specific timings when we receive progress updates.

We would like to say a huge thank you to all of our wonderful friends, such as Mind in Bradford and Bradford District Care NHS Foundation Trust, who have helped us out in our time of need.  You have been so generous with your support, which has enabled us to keep all our client facing services operational.
