We’re holding an event just outside of Chester in April…we’re thinking 4500-5000 people and we want some rather special biscuits making in the shapes of a horse and a motorbike and a catering partner.

Soul Kitchen Chester would you have any ideas if there is a great charity that could guarantee our guests would want a ‘Second Bite’ on the day?

You may have heard we’re also inviting a few charities to share the day with us…on us.

PEOPLE ARE LOOKING TO CHARITIES FOR REASSURANCE, INDEPENDENCE AND TRUST.

BUT WE ARE NOT BEING PROVIDED WITH FINANCIAL SUPPORT TO HELP PEOPLE NAVIGATE ONE OF THE MOST TRAUMATIC PERIODS OF THEIR LIVES.

Last week alone, 409 people accessed our free guides on the Church of England Historic Abuse Redress Scheme.

That tells us something important. People are actively seeking independent information and guidance from organisations they feel they can trust.

The scheme is free to access and includes provision for legal advice and support.

Yet we are already seeing claims firms and law firms entering the marketplace, some offering services in return for a percentage of an individual’s compensation award.

This raises an important question.

If people are turning to charities for independent guidance, why isn’t the third sector being financially supported to help them?

For survivors, this is about far more than completing an application. It can mean revisiting deeply traumatic experiences, sometimes after decades of trying to move forward.

Surely, those engaging with the scheme should have the freedom to seek guidance and ongoing support from organisations they know, trust and feel comfortable approaching.

Charities are often operating on the slimmest of margins. Providing meaningful, sensitive and ongoing support requires time, trained people and resources.

Would it not make sense for the scheme to provide financial support to charities willing and able to help survivors navigate the process?

Because when charities lack the resources to help, people may look elsewhere.

And could that elsewhere be a claims firm charging a percentage of an award that the survivor could have accessed through a free scheme?

This isn’t about excluding law firms or questioning the value of professional legal advice. It’s about recognising that independent charitable support has a valuable role alongside it.

If funding is available to support legal involvement, shouldn’t we also be considering funding the charities that survivors are already choosing to approach?

We would welcome a conversation with those responsible for the scheme about how charities can be properly supported to provide independent guidance and ongoing support to survivors.

HOW CAN YOUR BUSINESS SUPPORT RURAL, FARMING AND EQUINE COMMUNITIES FOR LESS THAN £1 A DAY?

We’ve secured the funding and our new outreach trailer is now in the build phase.

With thanks to Debon Trailers for supporting the project, we’re now looking for businesses that want to be part of what comes next.

The trailer will take free mental health support into rural, farming and equestrian communities across Staffordshire and Cheshire, going to the places where people live, work and come together.

The final design is still being worked on, but you get the picture.

For less than £1 a day, your logo could travel with us throughout the year, seen at farms, equestrian venues, rural events, villages and community locations.

We’re not asking businesses to fund the project. That part is done.

We’re looking for businesses to help us cover the cost of the livery and put their name behind what we’re trying to achieve.

Could your business be one of them?

Search online for Mental Health 360 and see how, after 23 years as a charity, we’re dialling things up for a very different future.

WE’RE LOOKING FOR OUR NEXT TRUSTEE / DIRECTOR — AND WE WANT SOMEONE AGED 18–25.

We’re a charity with heritage dating back to 2003, but we have absolutely no intention of building the stereotypical charity board.

We want a younger voice around our table.

Someone who can tell us what we’re missing, what feels outdated, what’s affecting your generation and what you think we should be doing differently.

No degree? No problem.
No board experience? No problem.
Not bursting with confidence? That’s fine too.

We’ve deliberately moved away from the traditional board structure, including removing the role of Chair. We make decisions collectively — every Trustee / Director has an equal vote, an equal say and an equal opportunity to shape what we do.

And there’s plenty in it for you too.

You’ll help shape what Mental Health 360 does next, spend time with people who genuinely don’t mind being told they’re wrong, and add Trustee / Director to your CV before you’re 25.

We have experience we can share with you.

You have experience we don’t have.

And that’s exactly why we want you.

So if you’re 18–25, don’t assume you’re too young. Don’t assume you’re not qualified. Get in touch and have a conversation with us.

And if you know someone who should see this, tag them, send it to them or share this post. We want this opportunity to reach the right young person.

CHURCH OF ENGLAND REDRESS SCHEME — TAKE YOUR TIME. ASK QUESTIONS.

As the launch of the Church of England Redress Scheme approaches, there is an increasing amount of information online about how victims and survivors can access the Scheme — including organisations offering to help manage the process.

The Scheme has been designed so that you can apply yourself. You do not need to instruct a solicitor, although you can choose to have independent legal advice and other support.

If you are considering asking a law firm, claims management company or another organisation to help you, it is entirely your choice.

But before agreeing to anything, ask questions.

• Will you charge me a fee?

• Will you take a percentage of any redress payment I receive?

• Are there any other charges I could become responsible for?

• What mental health or emotional support is available to me, and when can I access it?

• Who will have access to the personal information I share?

• What happens to my information when my application has finished? Could it be used to contact me about other services in the future?

• Are the people I will speak to trained to deal sensitively with difficult and potentially traumatic recollections?

• What experience do you have supporting victims and survivors of abuse?

Most importantly, do you feel comfortable and confident with the people offering to support you?

You should not feel pressured into making a decision there and then.

If you have entered into an agreement online or over the telephone, ask whether you have a cooling-off period, how you can cancel and whether any charges would become payable if you change your mind.

The Church of England has confirmed that applying to the Scheme will be free. You do not need a solicitor to apply and, for eligible applicants, funding of up to £5,000 is available for independent legal advice.

There are also charities and independent organisations that can provide confidential, impartial guidance and support.

You do not have to face these decisions alone.

Throughout October, Mental Health 360 will be publishing a series of straightforward guides explaining the Scheme, the choices available and some of the questions you may want to ask before deciding what is right for you.

Information to help you make your own informed decision — without pressure.

1,000 motorbikes. One world record attempt. One very special venue.

On 17 April 2027, we’re bringing together motorcyclists at one of Cheshire’s most prestigious venues for something a little different.

From modern superbikes and vintage classics to the trusty everyday commuter, all types of motorbikes are welcome.

Could you be part of our world record attempt?

And yes, we’re a charity. We’ve been supporting mental health since 2003, but that doesn’t mean we can’t do things differently!

We’re keeping a few details under wraps for now, but we’d love you to be involved.

Tag a fellow biker, share this with your motorcycle club or, if you’re a business connected to the motorcycling community, perhaps you’d like to join us.

More details coming soon.
