The third in our series of virtual events for colleagues and other stakeholders from across West Yorkshire and Harrogate Health and Care Partnership was held on 26th February 2021 to talk about community resilience before, during Covid-19 and moving forward.
Our guest speakers included Jimmy Gittins (ex-rugby league player and speaker for State of Mind mental health charity); Sajeed Mahmood, Women’s Activity Centre, Halifax; Julian Norton (British veterinary surgeon, author and TV personality); and International Mixed Ability Sports (IMAS) founders and experts by experience shared their thoughts and learning about how their individual resilience has inspired community action.
The event was hosted by Rob Webster (WY&H HCP CEO Lead) and Hilary Thompson (Chairperson of Third Sector Leaders Kirklees and Lead for Harnessing the Power of Communities). We were also joined by colleagues and partners from all sectors and all communities across the region.
