ATTENTION ART GROUP! The Art Group at the Huddersfield Mission has run almost every week for over 6 years. It is a very welcoming group made a up of a diverse group of people. I ask those of you who can contact members of the art group who don't do social media to let them know what were up to. Ask them to contact us on 01484 421461 and we will get them involved with this challenge and the art activities over the coming weeks. This week toilet roll tubes. Please share your creations.

Covid - 19 - Huddersfield Mission Adjustments Update 20/03/20
Support line 01484 421461 during normal office hours 10-4.
As you may be aware Huddersfield Mission this week has been planning the way forward for the foreseeable future with internal and external agencies. This is a changing situation and may change from day to day as more information arises.
The plans are to deliver a service that falls in line with Government guidance and the need for us all to stay safe.
We released our initial statement early this week and reassured the community that we are taking responsible steps so that we will still be able to operate, all be it slightly different to how we are at this present time.
Guidance from the government has asked the general public to reduce the social contact to a minimum, therefore we took the initial steps to close the Evening Cafe with immediate effect and cancel our room bookings as of the 23rd March.
We have spent the last few days contacting customers who have used the Huddersfield Mission since the start of 2020 and identified their support needs during this time. Some individuals will get enhanced support from Huddersfield Mission and this is based on individual need. There is a big cohort of our customers who use Huddersfield Mission to address their social isolation and we have a system to call these individuals, the current plan is to do this daily.
Things may crop up and you may feel like its a crisis, rest assured your not alone, Huddersfield Mission will be a phone call away.
If you are unable to contact us via the telephone then drop us a social media request and we will deal with it as soon as possible.
We will also be able to take messages through Whatsapp so feel free to Whatsapp the team on 07492692295 and we will give you a call back
The doors to the Service will be closed to the Public 20/03/20 and will only be reopened to the public when it is Safe to do so. Therefore, there is no end date but as the week or weeks go by we will continue to adapt the service we offer.
We understand this falls below the service customers are used to but this is a challenging time for us all.
PLEASE do not add your phone number to the main page of our Facebook, please private inbox us.
If you get a call from Huddersfield Mission then please be sure it is a staff member you are familiar with to ensure authenticity.
Please also be aware Huddersfield Mission staff will not come to your address without prior agreement from you.
In these difficult times STAY SAFE ... See MoreSee Less

Covid-19 Update Tuesday 17th March
Following the latest advice from the Government regarding the need to reduce social contact, we have taken the following decisions about Huddersfield Mission.
The Evening Café, will be closed with immediate effect and will not now reopen until next winter.
The Mission building will be closed to the public from Monday 23rd March 2020
For the rest of this week, we will continue to operate the café and advice service on reduced hours 10am to 2pm, to provide our customers with a period of adjustment before we close next week.
From next week we will operate an advice service by telephone only (01484) 421461.
We will honour any room booking this week but all room hire from Monday 23rd March is now cancelled.
We recognise that the situation is fast-moving and therefore these decisions may be subject to further change if required.
As a charity that supports people it is a difficult decision to reduce our services and close the Mission Building, however, we feel that the need to protect our customers, staff and volunteers is of utmost concern. Please bear with us during this changing and challenging situation. ... See MoreSee Less
