Speaking out for mental health

A mental health charity for the Intellectual Property community

About us

Our charity was set up in 2017 in memory of Jonathan McCartney who tragically took his own life that year.

We aim to reduce the stigma associated with mental health issues and to empower people to speak up and reach out for help when they need it. We work closely with organisations to raise awareness and support them to develop better mental health and wellbeing practices in the workplace.

You can find out more about our work here, and if you would like to support us with a donation or fundraising initiative, we would be very grateful.

Do get in touch if you have any questions or feedback, and thank you for your interest. Together we can make a difference…

Report to the Charity Commission November 1st 2023 – October 31st 2024

We have had a busy year!

Here are some of the highlights. We delivered talks and webinars to an estimated 1,100 individuals - both in-person and online and reached over 320 delegates through conference presentations. We were involved in joint men’s mental health events, a key priority for us. Penelope Aspinall participated in several podcasts, including three with the European Patent Institute (EPI).

"I thought the session was fantastic - very practical and informative for line managers" - just one example of our positive feedback.
