Our Awards

Judges’ comments:

Keighley Healthy Living is a pioneering community-based charity working tirelessly to support its local population to be physically and mentally well through lifestyle changes. Through its excellent partnership-working and innovative approach, it plays a huge role in bringing people together, reducing social isolation, as well as supporting people with specific health conditions. It is now rightly being recognised for its impact on supporting its community while reducing pressure on the NHS.

In November 2023, KHL were delighted to receive Locality’s award for Transforming Lives, in recognition of our work in improving the health and wellbeing in our community. The award springboards community organisations who have had a significant impact on changing people’s lives to a national level of awareness.

“At the moment, Keighley Healthy Living guides my life and makes me think positive and move forward.”
