The event, hosted by talking therapy service Insight Healthcare, was organised to tackle the social stigma around mental health.

Dr Mohammed Munawar from Insight Healthcare, said: “We received numerous nominations for the Calderdale Wellbeing Heroes Awards, and it was deeply touching to highlight the different ways in which people help each other within our community.”
