All Services in Kirklees
This service helps people with a personal budget in Kirklees to find and arrange the kind of support services they want. All our peer brokers are people with direct experience of living with mental health difficulties (including dementia), and of using mental health services. They are trained and supported to help you work out what kind of support you want, to live the kind of life you want.
The Well-Bean Hope In a Crisis Café supports anyone in a crisis – it provides a safe place for people in crisis to go and to prevent avoidable attendances at A&E. The Well-bean cafe has been set up by Touchstone and the Basement Recovery Project, a Huddersfield social enterprise. It is funded by NHS Greater Huddersfield Clinical Commissioning Group and NHS North Kirklees Clinical Commissioning Group.

This project works with people with lived experience and our partners across all sectors to understand the current experience of users and families of Autism and ADHD services and assess ways of improving services and addressing social inequalities faced by neurodivergent people.
Touchstone will be responsible for the co-production element of the project, ensuring voices from a diverse range of backgrounds and experiences are involved in every aspect of the project.
