I have found the atmosphere at KHL has enriched my life, besides the enjoyment of the company at my art lessons, which I greatly enjoyed… I appreciate just what a difference KHL makes to many people who attend here.

KHL has been a help to me in the fact that I have met a new circle of friends and mixing with different people has helped my mental health and made me feel more open to change.

The classes are great for my physical and mental health, also for socialising. I look forward to it every week.

KHL provides multiple services that make it an integral part of assistance to the community of Keighley.

The opportunities and support offered by KHL is generally excellent. I have really benefitted from ballet be fit! The admin staff are warm welcoming and efficient. An absolute gem for Keighley.

I have had much better quality of life and it’s been life-saving. I attend positive vibes and conversation café.

An excellent group for friendship and living a happier and fulfilled life. Thank you KHL.

Coming to KHL has helped with my anxiety and greatly improved my social skills. The exercise classes have helped with my mobility and healthy eating/ cooking courses have helped me gain confidence in having a healthy lifestyle.

I love coming to KHL, it is so inviting and welcoming and I really feel I belong there. I can come in for a cuppa and a chat when just passing by.

KHL is a lifeline for the local community. It has really improved my mental and physical health and today’s training was very interesting and informative.

It’s a warm space here, it’s very inviting. Volunteering will help me in my plans for getting a job. It’s been a good experience and hopefully it will help me with my career progression.

A brilliant space to slow down, reduce stress and learn new skills.

Wonderful service from KHL and exercise group. Thank you so much for giving me the confidence and positive changes to manage a lot more than I was doing this time last year. Looking forward to life again.
