Mental health problems can affect anyone, rich or poor, young or old, shattering the lives of those affected and the lives of the people close to them. One in four of us will experience a mental health problem at some point in our lives. Each year more than 250,000 people are admitted to psychiatric hospitals and over 4,000 people take their own lives.

Legacy donations contribute to the local Mind association grant fund, which helps to provide local services for people who experience mental health problems. These donations helped to fund the art therapy group run by Michael's local Mind association.
