Support to Recovery

Local charity promoting positive mental health across Kirklees and surrounding areas.

Support to Recovery promotes positive mental health and well-being to people in our community. We believe that appropriate support and information will lead to progress towards personal resilience and meaningful life outcomes: to those who experience mental health difficulties, their families and their carers.

We provide different creative, interactive and inclusive opportunities. These are intended to aid and promote positive mental health, emotional and physical well-being as well as social contacts.
