I was the Radio during Jon Smith’s evening, talking about the campaign, the VibeVan and the mental health awareness in general. I also shared some of my own personal story, including my battles with mental health and how it cost me my career in financial services in London.

I explain how I overcame my mental heath struggles and used them to empower me to forge a new path in life. By sharing my story and experiences, I endeavour to help others overcome their mental health struggles, whilst also campaigning for positive change to UK mental healthcare. I mention I have set up a separate community interest company which will work towards this goal.

The interview was recorded earlier in the afternoon and formatted as if I was a guest announcer with Jon Smith on the evening show between 7pm and 10pm. His show can be found here:

Jon was keen for me to keep him updated on developments with the campaign so he can feature it again on his show.
