As an organisation we have seen a massive increase in young people with poor mental health and the effects it has on them and their families.  We have been raising money to support our projects around mental health and our clothing range is our next step in providing the much needed support. Our jumpers and hoodies are printed with the phrase "It's ok to not be ok" to help battle the stigmas around speaking out and spreading positivity to the wearer and the people they meet.  This message is very personal to us as an organisation and is in memory of our past student Mark Patton who sadly took his Life in 2021 at the age of 18. All proceeds go back into supporting our young people.
Marks Story.
​Mark joined us in January of 2018 and we were very quickly charmed by Mark and his infectious personality. Yes he could be difficult, sometimes intimidating and exasperating but his tremendous determination, cheeky humour and soft heart won us all over. We were privileged enough to work with Mark and watched him progress on on our programme and begin to laugh and smile. Once Mark left our programme we continued to support him in his apprenticeship with Ingleford Scaffolding where he grew in confidence. Sadly Mark had his own demons that he wasn't able to talk about and on  the 26th of September 2021 Mark took his own life. Mark was an amazing son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin and friend who was always there to support the people he cared about. We want Marks memory to live on through the work we do by sharing his story and keeping his memory alive. We want to remind all our young people that it is never too late to talk to someone and it’s ok, to not be ok.
