Our founder, Eoin, experienced anxiety from a relatively young age. Unfortunately, this isn’t uncommon, with 1 in 4 adults suffering from a diagnosable mental health issue.
Charities like Mind work on the front line to provide support to anyone experiencing mental health issues, but they need funding to continue their great work.
Throughout this Mental Health Awareness Week we’ll be donating 100% of online profits to our local Mind branch, whilst also sharing info from their amazing team, the work they do and how you can support them.
