Hannah Cochrane, senior support worker at CLEAR, said: “It was an amazing event to organise; so many families enjoyed the interactive lantern puppets by Handmade Parade and the delicious food.
“The event provided the community with the opportunity to meet faces from the local services, including The Working Together Partnership in Kirklees and to learn about the support available locally for mental health needs.
“We apologise that the adventure playground was not open to due unforeseen circumstances, but despite this the parade was another great success for families and we look forward to welcoming everybody back next year!”
