Wise Minded Wellbeing CIC is a mental health service, which supports the mental health and wellbeing of children, young people and adults from Kirklees and the surrounding areas. Wise Minded Wellbeing CIC was incorporated in March 2021, so this is the CIC’s fifth year of operation. Due to a change in personal circumstances for the Directors, (one of whom is also the lead clinician) the activities of Wise Minded Wellbeing have been scaled back over the 2025/26 year, compared to previous years’ activities. During the year 2025-2026, ten individuals (6 children and 4 adults) have accessed one-to-one psychological therapy, and between them completed a total of 65 individual sessions. These sessions have supported individuals experiencing a range of mental health difficulties such as anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem/confidence, and difficulties managing emotions. In addition to 1:1 psychological therapy, a community wellbeing drum circle was established, with two sessions taking place in the year 2025-2026. A total of 10 people accessed these sessions. These sessions have been offered to people on a donation basis, to reduce any financial barriers to access. In addition, a total of £97 was invested into drums for this group to use, again reducing any barriers around having access to an instrument. Research has shown drumming to be beneficial to mental health and wellbeing.

Stakeholders for Wise Minded Wellbeing CIC include: 1 - Those members of the local community (Kirklees and surrounding areas) who have, or are at risk of, developing mental health difficulties. 2 - Those members of the community who have accessed, or are accessing, therapeutic interventions or general yoga classes with Wise Minded Wellbeing CIC. 3 - Those who may refer individuals for therapeutic interventions, including local GPs, Social Prescribers, other health and social care professionals, and carers of those experiencing mental health difficulties. 4 - Those who may fund or commission services for people with mental health difficulties. 5 - Other third sector organisations who work for the benefit of the same community. Wise Minded Wellbeing CIC has asked for feedback from members of the community who have accessed our services. Feedback about experiences of individual therapy has been positive, with individuals making good progress towards any goals set as part of the therapeutic process and reporting feeling better able to cope with difficulties, as a direct result of the services received. Feedback from those accessing the drum circle have also been positive, with participants saying that they have enjoyed them and reporting feelings of calm after the sessions.
