OUR STORY
Honoring Brian:
Why Mind to Motion Exists
When people ask where the heartbeat of Mind to Motion CIC comes from, the answer is personal. It comes from my brother, Brian.
Brian and I shared the exact same core value: a deep, unwavering desire to help people. We believed in human connection, looking out for others, and making sure people felt supported when life got heavy.
Tragically, Brian took his own life in early 2025. In the wake of that heartbreak, everything shifted. I realised I couldn't wait any longer to pursue my true calling, seeing people unlock their potential, build confidence, and find purpose.
However, I also knew that good intentions alone aren't enough when dealing with mental health and vulnerable youth.
Following Brian’s passing, I enrolled in a Mental Health First Aider course and completed professional wellbeing training. I wanted to fully equip myself with the practical tools, safeguarding knowledge, and emotional frameworks needed to properly support people through difficult times.
Turning Tragedy into Action
Carrying His Legacy Forward
With those formal tools in hand, I founded Mind to Motion CIC, built for young adults, and in honor of Brian.
Today, I balance my professional career in electrical engineering with running Mind to Motion CIC.
Every session we run, every young person we support, and every step forward they take, carries Brian's spirit and our shared values forward.
