A huge thank you and well done to all the incredible thrill seekers who took on the Great Yorkshire Abseil last weekend!

Through the wind and the rain, this triumphant team tackled the heights at Ilkley Moors Cow and Calf rocks, and raised a whopping £6500 in the process.

We are so grateful for your determination, grit, and courage - you’ve made a big impact for mental health in Leeds and West Yorkshire, and looked really cool doing it!

If you fancy getting involved in fundraising as exciting as this, you can explore our fundraising events over on our website - keep your eyes peeled for our 2027 calendar, coming soon!

Our team here at Leeds Mind is so proud to have been named one of the UK’s Best Workplaces in Charity and Not-for-profit™ 2026.

This recognition from Great Place to Work® recognises charities that are creating positive, inclusive and engaging environments.

The accolade means all the more to us given that it is based on feedback from across our team of 120+ people. That means it wasn’t granted thanks to a slickly worded awards entry, but is instead based on honest and authentic feedback from the people working for Leeds Mind.

The second slide shows some of that staff feedback.

Want to be part of one of the #BestWorkplaces? Keep an eye on our vacancies page, which is regularly updated with new roles.

#GreatPlaceToWork #BestWorkplacesCharityAndNotForProfit #LeedsCharities #ThirdSectorLeeds #LeedsJobs A man smiles to camera. The text reads: "We're a UK's Best Workplace in Charity & Not-for-profit. Great Place To Work." There is also a badge that reads: Best Workplaces in charity and not-for-profit. Great Place To Work UK 2026. by @leedsmind

Good luck everyone that is running the Great North Run tomorrow.

2 years ago I was ill in bed watching it on TV and thought it looked such a great atmosphere. I thought if I ever did a half marathon I'd want to do that one.

Last year after training so hard I ran it for @leedsmind charity.

It was an amazing achievement for me and wasn't wrong about the atmosphere, it was amazing!

I'll know I'll be so jealous of you all tomorrow when I'm watching it on TV and follow on the tracker.

Today is World Suicide Prevention Day.

Suicide prevention starts long before a crisis. It starts with conversations, connections, support and helping people feel less alone.

Throughout September and October, we're joining community events and partnerships across Leeds to raise awareness, challenge stigma and help people find the support they need.

Whether you're joining a Walk of Hope, starting a conversation, or accessing support for yourself or someone else, every small action matters.

If you're struggling, you don't have to face it alone. 💙

Find out more via the link in our bio.

As part of Walks of Hope, we are working alongside Touchstone, @beingyouleedsconsortium, @Hamara, @holbecktogether_, @barcaleeds, @thels14trust, @gipsilleeds and @leedscouncil as part of the city’s anti-stigma campaign, Change the Narrative.

We are also working with @leedsintfest in support of their event 'How Do We Talk About Suicide?' on Wednesday 7 October.

Our second series of One Wave at a Time workshops has been created to support men navigating grief and managing change after loss from suicide.

This workshop series is designed to help you understand the ways grief impacts us. It's also an opportunity to connect with others impacted by suicide.

Whether you have lost a loved one, friend or colleague, have been impacted as a witness, or are a first responder - join us for this compassionate and explorative course.

Session 1 will focus on understanding and coping with grief.

Session 2 will focus on living with the loss and setting goals for the future.

Session 3 will bring the two groups together for a reflective social session and a quiz.

Course dates:

Group 1
Monday 5 October
Monday 12 October

Group 2
Monday 19 October
Monday 26 October

Both groups will come together on Monday 2 November.

Sessions will be held at Space2, at The Old Fire Station, LS9 6NL
