I have been happily retired for a few years but for the past 30 years I worked in Management within the voluntary sector working with minority ethnic women (and their families). Many of the women had mental health issues mainly caused by the oppressive cultural practices within their community. Over the years I gained qualifications in Organisational Management, Fundraising, Social Enterprise and Volunteer Training. I have known June throughout this time and admire her strength and courage in becoming the amazing women she is today and I am delighted to support Environmental CÍC.

Hi, I’m Graeme and I’ve been a Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) trainer for just over three years. I’m passionate about helping people feel more confident talking about mental health and supporting others through tough times. My sessions blend the Scottish Credit & Qualifications Framework (SCQF) accredited content with my own personal and professional experiences of mental health. Before becoming an MHFA trainer, I spent 12 years in a role where dealing with mental health crises was part of daily life — whether that meant supporting someone in immediate distress or delivering training to help individuals and teams feel better equipped to respond. I’ve seen first-hand the difference the right support can make. Now, I use that mix of real-life experience and professional know-how to make MHFA training practical, down-to-earth, and genuinely useful. My aim is always to create a safe, welcoming space where people feel comfortable learning, asking questions, and growing in confidence — because mental health affects us all, and with the right tools, we can all make a positive difference.
