“The mental health agenda in this country has received a lot of coverage, particularly throughout the lockdowns and rightly so. It’s great to see these issues being taken seriously and through organisations such as Lamp, we know that the best support functionality is out there, providing an impartial ear and counselling, as required, to help people.

“We’re delighted that Macildowie has selected Lamp as its charity of the year. Working in such a stressful environment as recruitment, it’s critical that they have visibility of how mental health issues can affect people and they’re keen to work with us to explore how they can help us further in getting our word out to people who may need our support.”
