Our amazing fun loveable Dad sadly passed away this January 2026 and we are heart broken. We thought it only right to try and help others in the community he lived in and to give back to a cause that helped him greatly throughout his time in Orkney. The Blide Trust promotes mental well-being through active personalised support with a focus on recovery. We support over 260 people in Orkney with their recovery from mental ill health (we also help visitors and tourists in need of help). We do this by providing complementary therapies, one to one support, numerous activities e.g. Creative Writing, Crafts, Out and About trips etc. People join as members and work together with the staff team to plan and develop what we do so it meets the needs of our people.

May our Dad's legacy forever live on and we hope to raise all that we can to help those in need.

We thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for the love and support we have received and any donations.
