Brian has said “My background in my working life is all about helping people and customers within the industries that I work in. Mental Health and wellbeing means a lot to me as I lost someone very close to me due to mental health and not speaking with someone and because of this I became a mental health first aider. I was very proud when Liam Duffy (Club Chairman) asked me if I would like to take up this role within the club, a club that I see going from strength to strength and in years to come be very big and successful.
“It is ok not to be ok and to ask people for help”

Brian's role within the club is to offer people help and someone they can talk to in confidence about anything that they may be struggling with.
