Our book club is all about providing a relaxed, safe space to chat and connect with others, all while reading some great books!

Ewen reached out to Back Onside when he was at breaking point.

Now, he’s back to his old self - no longer suffering with panic attacks, no longer experiencing suicidal thoughts and he has control of his life again - thanks to the professional counselling support Back Onside were able to provide him.

At the moment, Back Onside is facing a serious funding challenge. Demand for our services continues to grow, but unfortunately our income is not keeping pace. This is impacting the level of support we are able to provide to the people who need it most, and without support from people like you, it will only deteriorate.

Please, if you can, donate to Back Onside today by visiting backonside.com/donate to help us continue to help more people like Ewen.

Thank you 💛

Hello, Libby here 💛

I recently sat down with Stephen McGowan at , alongside Michelle Campbell, our Head of Fundraising and Partnerships, to share my story and talk about the work we do at Back Onside.

I’m so grateful to Kevin McNaughton for having the courage to tell his story publicly. It’s not easy, especially in the public eye, but I know it will help others.

Every day, we are having to tell people that all we can do at this stage is add them to an already growing waiting list. I am the person answering those calls and it’s absolutely heartbreaking, I never imagined we would be in a position where I have to say this so often.

This is why I’m asking for your help.

If you’ve ever thought about supporting Back Onside, now is the time. Right now, your financial support will hugely impact how many people we can reach and how quickly we can be there for someone when they need it most. We know how tricky things are right now, but we are in desperate of support, and the reality is we cannot continue doing what we are doing without it.

If you can help in any way, please email me directly on libby@backonside.com. I would really love to hear from you 💛
