I helped to found two social enterprises while working in Greater Manchester. Storm, which provides training in skills for suicide prevention and Six Degrees Social Enterprise. I have now mostly retired from working with them.

Orkney Blide Trust
Since 2021 I have been a Trustee of Orkney Blide Trust which provides mental health support within the Orkney Islands . I have served as Chair, and am currently Vice-Chair.
Just read the very moving, and at times painful, extract from your latest book in The Times today. As well as being moved I am impressed by your courage and honesty to have written about yourself in this way.
Thank you! That version is extracted and doesn’t read as well as the original, so pleased to hear you still felt this! Not easy. I have stopped practising now.
