In late 2016, I had to resign from my job after witnessing an assault at a site I was working on. My ex boss and his son decided to make my life a misery because I refused to lie to the police for them.
 
I fell into a state of severe depression in late 2019 to the stage I couldn't leave the house.  The wost point of this happened  after my tools were stolen, false allegations against me were made, I was punched in the head, and banned from half of Orkney. All because I did the right thing and went to court as a witness.
​
Suicide is real...
​
I decided enough was enough. I wanted to help people in Orkney who were struggling a I did and also get back into my work.
 
5 years later and I'm feeling a lot better...
 
My partner (Queen Anne) and I run the charity together. It's thriving, the feature garden is taking shape, all thanks to the support we've received from near and far.
