I joined Dorset Mind as I feel really passionate about raising awareness regarding mental health, as it is something that has affected me in the past and people close to me. As a law student, I understand it is easy to get overwhelmed and stressed, and so I hope to ensure everyone knows they can always reach out when it gets too much. I want to make a difference and truly help young people to access mental health help that can improve their lives.

Craig Eldridge
My name is Craig Eldridge, I moved to Dorset in 2014. Between the years of 20017 and 2010 I had an eating disorder. I was scared that food would make me ill, so I tried to avoid it anyway I could. Over the years I had highs and lows of getting over it. Today I’m in a really good place, I have my mental health under control. I know what triggers me, what I can do to prevent these triggers, but also ways to deal with them if they ever happen. Its been a long and tough journey, but I’m glad I stuck with it every day.
Ellie Rainbird
Ambassador
My name is Ellie Rainbird and I am an Ambassador at Dorset Mind. I’ve always wanted to help people in some way. Through developing an interest in mental wellbeing and how it impacts our lives and my own lived experience, this was the path I wanted to explore further. I found Dorset Mind when researching local volunteering opportunities and saw the amazing work they do and services they offer, and I wanted to get involved.
