After Steve passed I really didn't want to carry on with Creative Frame, it had been our thing and without Steve's engine and enthusiasm things went quiet for a few years. In the meantime I'd moved to Leeds and began my first fledgling steps working in Mental Health with a freelance role at Inkwell Arts, a Leeds Mind Service. Over the next 4 years we grew the media team, I met and interviewed some incredible people and began to find my way in and around mental health all along recognising my own journey and how at times I had been vulnerable to a lot of the things the men we now support find themselves battling on a daily basis. I hadn't thought about Creative Frame until Light Night Leeds came along, saw potential in me and an idea I'd had for a spoken word choir the year before called Whistleblower and I was off running again!. This was in 2018 and if it hadn't have been for the confidence getting that project off the ground gave me I'd not be doing what I'm doing now. Towards the end of Inkwell I'd come up with an idea to offer men at risk of suicide creative outlets through music, film and digital art. I'd initially created this for Inkwell but with that not an option I asked Cloth Cat if they'd like to be involved and although strictly speaking a music charity they said yes and that project remains to this day. That project began in 2019 following a successful funding application mostly written by my partner Kerry (awesome human!) I've averaged around 6 male suicide prevention groups a week, that's almost 1500 male suicide prevention groups since 2019. As a service we've also delivered around a 1000 vegimation sessions for Healthy Holidays feeding countless children over the years. My head is now spinning writing this when I look back.
