Living with mental health challenges can make every day difficult.

For over 10 years, I’ve had the privilege of serving as a Trustee of Blackthorn Trust, a mental health charity that this year celebrates its 40th anniversary. Sue also works for the charity, so it’s something very close to both our hearts.

This year is also a milestone for me personally as I be 60. Between us, that’s 100 years!

At Blackthorn Trust, we help people rebuild their lives. Through our placements, we support individuals to:

Improve their physical and mental health

Reduce isolation and reconnect with others

Develop skills for independent living and employment

We believe that recovery takes more than medication. It takes community, purpose, and the right support to help people move forward and live fulfilling lives.

I’ve seen first-hand the difference this charity makes and how it can transform lives.

If you’re able to donate, you’ll be helping someone take a step towards recovery and a better future. Thank you.
