🌼 What’s On at Headway Huddersfield & District – May 2026

May is shaping up to be a busy and exciting month for Headway Huddersfield & District, with a mix of creative activities, wellbeing sessions, community events and opportunities to get involved. We also have a couple of important date changes, so please take a moment to check the updated schedule below.

We’re kicking off the month with a creative twist as we prepare for Hats 4 Headway Day on Friday 15 May. Bring a hat to decorate — or make one from scratch — and join us for a relaxed evening of crafting, conversation and community.

🧘 Thursday 7 May – Michelle’s Chair‑Based Yoga (Online)
