Edward Dean – Anxious Minds
An award-winning charity supporting thousands of veterans and families by improving mental health services in the North East, whilst providing volunteer placements for over 20 trainee counsellors.

“It’s just amazing. The fact I’ve been recognised by our peers, our veteran colleagues, for the work that we’ve done. I’m a volunteer; we’ve worked for over 6 years now for early intervention and long-term support for mental health. It’s having that recognition for the staff, volunteers – it’s just amazing. We are so proud to be recognised by our community.”Previous Winners: 2020 – Sapper Support 2019 – The Poppy Factory 2018 – Dr Aamer Khan, Back on Track (individual) Depthrapy & Deptherapy Education (organisation) 2017 – Ash Clare, Battleback
