Since childhood I have had periods of poor mental health and I am no longer afraid or ashamed to talk about it. I am open and honest with my family, friends and anyone who will listen! There is no shame and can literally happen to anyone of us. I am doing this firewalk to say thankyou for all of the wonderful support I have received over the years. I feel privileged to work in suicide prevention and am also doing this in memory of all of the people who have sadly taken their life in Cornwall.

Cornwall Mind believes no-one should have to face a mental health problem alone. Each year the demand for our services increases as more people seek support for their mental health.

Although we’re affiliated to Mind the national charity, Cornwall Mind is an independently registered and funded charity dependent on fundraising and donations, like yours, to continue our vital work in the community.

With your support, you can help us to continue our life-changing work, and for that we cannot thank you enough.
