Fundraising for Mental Health Disability - providing and supporting positive interaction with introductions to ‘hands on’alternative therapies via access to arts, culture, music, media, conservation, the environment with counselling/support in one-on-one/group projects.
This is a lifetime undertaking, by Paul Hammond, to fundraise for Mental Health Disability projects in the community East Norfolk/Suffolk and surrounding areas. Paul is undertaking this lifetime commitment as he has himself been recovering from COMPLEX POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER (C-PTSD) for the last decade and sharing his personal experiences to raise awareness and better understanding
This campaign is endorsed by Time to Change (Suffolk) for whom Paul is a local Champion, Emma Corlett (Labour County Councillor & Norfolk County Council Mental Health Champion), MP Peter Aldous, Community Action Suffolk, the High Sheriff of Suffolk, local action campaigners and many others; Pauls work has already won several awards.
The monies donated to and raised for the BACK TO LIFE Community Fund are held in Trust by Barclays Bank. The target is to raise a minimum of £250,000 to raise awareness, offer support and provide invaluable assistance to those suffering from this much stigmatised illness. In 2019/2020 Back 2 Life made payments of over £2,000 to six community and charitable projects.
