Find Out How You Really Are encourages people to take steps to understand and reduce their risk of developing diabetes or experiencing a heart attack or stroke. You can read more about the campaign here 
We’ve teamed up with a host of organisations to encourage sports fans, followers and residents, across West Yorkshire to stay healthy and reduce their risk of long-term health conditions.
Over the current rugby league and cricket season we’ve arranged several opportunities for fans to have a health screen and conversations about staying healthy at sports grounds across the region.
On Friday 3 May 2024, in the Fan Zone area at the Huddersfield Giants match, we and our partners from Get Set Goal at the University of Huddersfield had over 100 quality conversations and provided 70 health screens. One lucky person who came along to ‘find out’ more won a signed Giant’s t-shirt courtesy of the club.
The healthcare students from the Get Set Goal team also completed 63 health screens and were involved in some of the 120 quality conversations with fans at a Yorkshire T20 game at Headingley on 16 June. Read more about healthcare students from the University of Huddersfield have helped cricket fans at Headingley identify potentially serious health issues, as well as meeting former cricketer and international umpire Dickie Bird OBE.
Rob Webster CBE, Chief Executive of the NHS West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board and CEO Lead for the West Yorkshire Health and Care Partnership, said: "Our 'Find Out How You Really Are' campaign is a great example of teamwork aimed at improving people's lives. I'm thrilled to see rugby league clubs across West Yorkshire and the Yorkshire County Cricket Club supporting this effort by hosting the Get Set Goal team and encouraging fans to get health checks. It's crucial to bring our initiatives to the communities where people live, and this is a fantastic example of how effective that can be. Partnering with universities, like Huddersfield, where students are gaining hands-on experience supporting people, benefits everyone. This collaboration has the potential to change lives and attract more people to the health and care workforce."
