PEOPLE are being invited to the South West Yorkshire Mental Health Trust’s annual general meeting.

The meeting, on September 27, is an opportunity to hear the Trust’s news from the past year and plans for the future.

These include its application to become a locally-based Foundation Trust.

Chief executive Steven Michael said: “We’d like to extend a warm invite to people from across Wakefield, Kirklees and Calderdale to come along to our meeting, meet our staff and learn more about our Trust.

“The AGM is a great opportunity for people to join our Trust as a member and for new members to find out how they can influence the future of mental health services in the area as we progress to becoming a Foundation Trust.”

The meeting will be held at 6.15pm on Thursday September 27 in the Castle Hill Suite of the University of Huddersfield in Queensgate.
