Time Out had a fantastic time down at the Creative Learning Guild for our Faberge Egg competition. The young people's creations ranged from delicate collage and feathered jewelled eggs to anime style characters and Dragon Eggs, and the auction prices ranged from 20p to £30 million!

Congrats to Molly our winner with her Dragon Egg, presented by our guest judge Ruth Gamble.

Children's Mental Health Week 2019

This year for Children's Mental Health week we got our Partner Provider Network to think about what they do or aim to achieve for young people's mental health.

We also put up an exhibition at Healthy Minds of some of the great work young people made with us during 2018.

Getting Creative

We had a great time at Fax Fest making glow jars & festival headbands!

Young Minds Conference.

Time Out joined up with Tough Times and took a group of young people down to Young Minds Mental Health Conference in London back in May, which was a brilliant day making connections from all over the country and celebrating 25 years of Mind and 75 years of the NHS!

Volunteer Kiah said: 'We had a busy day out in London attending the Young Minds mental health conference. The highlights of the day were introductory speakers Claire Murdoch and Hussain Manawer, who were both very inspiring in different ways. Clair is head of mental health in the NHS and Hussain is a poet and mental health advocate. Our group then split off to attend different workshops including ones on self care, LGBTQ+ mental health and mental health innovation within the NHS. Our day ended by watching a few performances from Key Changes, a charity which uses music to aid recovery.'

Article for LGBTQ+ History Month

A huge Thankyou to the students at Brooksbank for our mural in the Art Room!

Volunteer Hayley wrote an article for Kooth.com:

I heard about Time Out from a group that I attended. In the group we were all given a piece of paper that asked us what we wanted to get out of Time Out. I put that I wanted to be a volunteer as it would help a lot with my future and my university degree, as I want to be a mental health nurse.

Since I have been volunteering with Time Out, I have been given many different opportunities that allows me to help others with themselves and allow them to understand that there are activities that they can do to stop them from feeling rubbish and therefore allowing themselves to feel happy.

Some opportunities include talking about Time Out with another volunteer to different organisations within Calderdale that are there to help young people. I have also been involved with a similar talk, but instead of there being young people there, it was all adults who work for the council. This allowed for them to be informed about what Time Out is and who can access Time Out.

I'm honoured to be a volunteer for Time Out!
