DIGNITY WHEN IT MATTERS MOST💙
Providing Hope Bags filled with essential items for patients to have when they arrive on psychiatric wards

23/10/2026

Nearly 4 years on❤️‍🩹 Now life consists of public speaking, visiting schools, meeting psychiatric patients and influencing change.

Standing 10 toes down and doing everything I said I would and the best part, there’s so much more to come.

The world wouldn’t be the same without you in it. Please stay and please choose hope.

Absolute honour for Hope Bags to have been nominated and then selected as a finalist at The Mental Health & Wellbeing Wales Awards!🥹💛 I can’t believe how far we’ve come as an organisation and what we have achieved. Here’s to more bags, deliveries and hope.

You really can do anything in this World🫶🏼

Lived experience voices matter!💪🗣️
So grateful to have been asked to speak at a recent meeting for multiple members from 6 of the 7 Welsh Health Boards. Thank you for having me and for being so open!

Never forget that you’re so capable and your voice and experiences matter! You have the ability to make a difference. 6 years ago I would never have thought I’d be invited into rooms like this, so anything is possible!💛

Thank you Sarah Stephens for the amazing opportunity!

Ultimately, we’re all just one life changing moment or period of overwhelm away from needed psychiatric intervention. If you don’t think you’d be happy receiving the level of care that our mental health services currently provide then why are you ok to watch others receive this treatment?

Help us change the narrative!

Receiving a Hope Bag is so much more than receiving toiletries. Getting a Hope Bag is a reminder that you are valued, respected and haven’t been forgotten about. So many people are admitted to psychiatric wards at the lowest moment in their life and we believe in the importance of being there for people at this time.

Maybe ‘purpose’ isn’t something you always find? I wouldn’t be the person I am today and doing the things I do without every experience that happened to me. I’m not ‘grateful’ for those experiences but I have accepted them. I hope you can too💛

When you’re admitted to a psychiatric ward, you should be able to focus solely on your recovery and your health, but unfortunately without access to toiletries and self care items, it becomes practically impossible to do this! Help us change the narrative📣

Help us make a difference.
