Why have you chosen to support YoungMinds?

"As someone who has struggled with their mental health, I think YoungMinds are incredible. The work they do not just to help young people manage their own mental health, but actively try to make a difference with health care and government policy is incredible. They are the organisation I wish I knew about when I was younger."

  • What do you do to switch off and take care of your mental health?

    "I will literally lay in a bath for three hours until I look like a dried apricot."

  • What advice would you give to your younger self?

    "Don't think that how you feel now is how you'll feel forever - time changes everything and it turns out mental health is universal and there's so many things you can do to feel better!"

Which of our values do you relate to the most and why?

"Optimism is so important as your outlook on life totally defines how you feel. Just because we can all struggle with mental health, doesn't mean we should give up - in fact we should all believe that ourselves, and the world can be a better place."

We celebrate what makes you, you. What three words describes you best?

  • Tall

  • Talkative
