I’m incredibly proud to serve as Chair of Trustees at Conwy Mind, a local mental health charity dedicated to ensuring that nobody in our community has to face mental health challenges alone. Conwy Mind provides vital mental health and wellbeing support to people, helping individuals build resilience, improve their wellbeing and access the support they need, when they need it. What makes Conwy Mind special is its deeply rooted connection to the communities it serves. All the staff understand that mental health challenges can affect anyone, regardless of their background or circumstances, and that the right support, delivered with compassion, understanding and without judgement, can make a life-changing difference.

In 2024, I experienced a particularly difficult period in my life which resulted in me receiving mental health care. It was an experience that changed my perspective on so many things Recovery wasn’t an overnight process. It took time, determination, support from others and a willingness to rebuild. That experience also gave me a renewed sense of purpose. When the opportunity arose to become a board members initially, it felt like an opportunity to turn something incredibly difficult into something positive. To use both my professional experience and my personal journey to help an organisation that supports people facing some of life’s toughest moments. Being Chair has been a privilege and a responsibility. It means working alongside an extraordinary group of people who are committed to making mental health support more accessible, compassionate and responsive to the needs of our communities. I’m proud of how far I’ve come, both personally and professionally. But I’m even prouder that my experiences can now play a small part in helping others.
