As part of , we’re celebrating the incredible people who give their time, skills and experience to support Northamptonshire Mind. 💙

Today, we’re shining a spotlight on our Chair of Trustees, Raj Rajani.

Raj joined Northamptonshire Mind as a trustee in 2020 and became Chair in 2025, bringing a wealth of professional expertise, compassion and commitment to improving mental health across Northamptonshire.

Trustees are volunteers, giving their time to help shape the future of our charity, provide oversight and ensure we can continue supporting local people when they need us most.

This year, Raj is taking her support one step further. Alongside her son, Ravi, she will be travelling to Tanzania to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa, raising funds and awareness for Northamptonshire Mind.

Speaking about the challenge, Raj said:

“Climbing Kilimanjaro will test us in every way, but we’re proud to do it to help raise awareness and vital funds for a cause we deeply believe in.”

Thank you, Raj, for your leadership, dedication and everything you do as a volunteer to support better mental health across Northamptonshire.
