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…

Thank you!

A big thank you to all those who have played a part, however small, in supporting Jonathan’s Voice during the past year. This includes the enthusiastic and hard-working core team (Penny Aspinall, Donna Smith, Lisa Whitteton, Gemma Fieldsend, Rea Edwards and Mollie Sutherland), our donors, supporters and corporate sponsors. We would be unable to function without our Trustees and Advisory Board members, all of whom give their time voluntarily. Thank you to Andrea Brewster and the team at IP Inclusive for their continued support and for facilitating our joint webinars.

Our key focus is unchanged; to reduce the stigma around mental health and support the creation of mentally safe workplaces where all my thrive. We are positive about the future and look forward to working with firms and organisations to achieve that agenda in 2026.

Thank you all, we would not be able to continue the important work we are doing without you.
