Introduction
In 2020-2021 Jonathan's Voice has continued to open up the
conversation about mental health in the workplace and to
provide resources to organisations and individuals in order to
support good mental health. We aim to make a positive impact
by working in partnership with businesses and other groups to
develop a mentally healthy environment where all may thrive.
We provide all activities and materials free at the point of

1.20
Improving menlal health in workplaces- publications, talks
and related activities
Mental health awareness appears to have reached a turning
point over the past two years with sports personalities,
entertainers and others in the public eye being prepared to talk
more openly about their mental health challenges. Whilst these
stories help break down stigma, it is clear that in many
workplaces stigma remains and many organizations fail to give
mental wellbeing sufficient priority.
Our main goal over the year was to provide high-qualily,
evidence-based resources designed to help individuals to better
look after their mental health and wellbeing and to equip
organizations lo provide the necessary support structures. We
have worked in partnership with the Charlie Waller Trust
(htl s-1lcharliewaller.or
l ), one of the UK'S most respected
mental health charities, to create and distribute two guides
namely, "Protecting your mental health and wellbeing.. a guide
forpatenl and trademark attorneys. {25 pages} and "Advancing
the mental health and wellbeing agenda.. A guide for senior
leaders in the intellectual property profession'123 pages). These
resources are available to download free of charge from our
website and from the Mental Health at Work where all material is
curated by MIND
(htl S=Ilwww.mentalheallha￿0rk.0r
.ukl?s=
onathanO/o27s+voice
Hard copies were also distributed to selected organizations
and to those who specifically requested them.
Comments have included. "This is such a good thing..
congratulationsl"
"I really highly recommend the resources
produced by @J'onathans voice and especially the guide
pictured. Thorough, reassuring, practical, and always worth
picking up and reading again (and againl),; Here is a brilliant
resource for all IP professionals - and lawyers generally""
'Protecting your mental health and wellbeing - a guide for patent
and trade mark professionals" fron7 fantastic @Charliewtrust &
@J'onathans voice-and supported by @IPlnclusive Crucial
guide. Thank you @J'onathans Voice"
The publication and distribution of these resources has been
supported by an ongoing program of talks and other events to
raise awareness and redu￿ stigma. This has included a
learning lunch webinar event to over 100 participants from the
UK Intellectual Property Office, a video talk for the Spring
Conference of the Chartered Institute of Trade Mark Attorneys
and a talk for one of their Professional Development seminars., a
webinar for new starters to the Intellectual Propety profession
throu

and the

Chartered Institute of Patent Attorneys lover 60).
Other activities have included participation in the podcast series
-Two IPS In A Pod" produced by the Chartered Institute of Patent
Attorneys (CIPAI and close collaboration with the early career
support group of CIPA. In the case of the latter, we have strongly
supported the development of their mental health activities and
they write, "You at Jonathan s voice have been pivolal in
everything that has been done over the past year. I know for a
fact that so many have benefited from the resources." Their
membership survey showed that over 600/0 had found their
welfare activities very beneficial.
Raising awareness of mental health issues - website, blogs,
social media newsletters. community activities
We have made extensive developments to our website in the
past year where we regularly post blogs on menlal health issues
written by a number of conlributors The charity posts blogs on
the website at a frequency of approximately two a month. The
content ranges from looking after yourself and looking after other
people to information about recent research and reports. Blogs
are created specifically for this site and for significant days such
as World Suicide Prevention Day and World Mental Health
Awareness Day.
Blogs Ihat relate to spectfic dales in the mental health calendar
are created in advance and shared with those organisalions with
whom we work before'the day so that they can be posled on
their websites and extend the readership. The charity tweets
about each blog to alert readers and some are posted on
Linkedln. Blogs lypically have 600 to 700 reads. Those that
presently have the highest number are "Using Small talk to Start
a Conversation" {1,0431 and "Understanding Male Suicide"
(1,2141., blogs that exemplify the variety of the content.
Links in new blogs are slrategically placed to take the reader
back to a previous blog, thereby increasing ils readership, and to
other relevant siles beyond Jonathan's Voice.
The impacl of Ihe variety of blogs is that they increase
knowledge and awareness of mental health issues and provide
helpful and well-evidenced information and guidance for
individuals and organizalions.
The website also provides a range of free to download resources
as well as links to our quarterly Newsletters which provide
updates on the work of the charity.
In the past year we have increased the number offollowers we
have on Twitter by about 300/0 and now have over 400. Linkedln
has been a notable success story with good, organic growth and
we have built up from zero to over 200 followers in less than a
year. Page views have increased five-fold from April to
September 2021.
Two key Twitter metrics are numbers of impressions and
numbers of engagements with our posts. Our top tweet
concerned with World Suicide Prevention Day reached over
2400 users of Ihe platfomi. Overall, we have seen a strong
growth in both these metrics since we have put more focus on
providing regular and consislent original contenl as well as
sustaining re-tweets of relevant material. Through the past year
overall growth in impressions has averaged +144 %
Jonathan's Voice now has a presence on Facebook where
en
ement has ra
rown.

Our quarterly newsletters, distributed electronically using the
Mailchimp plarform, have continued to reach a wide audience
which has grown by around 20°/0 over year. We how have over
250 individuals who have asked to receive them and each
Newsletter is made available for free download on our website.
During the year we have been pleased to receive several
complimentary comments about their content. We also held a
highly successful virtual coffee morning in January 2021 for
supporters and those interested to learn more about our work
and had over 50 participants with talks from some of our
trustees, fundraisers and our researcher whom we support at
University of Glasgow.
In many instances community activities have been associated
with some of our fundraising events which are highlighted below.
Notable amongst the community events was our involvement in
the Southwell Music Festival 2021. We were very grateful to be
the charity supported this year by this highly acclaimed event.
See more below.
Supporting research - Suicidal Behaviour Research
Laboratory, University of Glasgow
In 2020, Jonathan's Voice began its support for a research
project at the Suicidal Behaviour Research Laboratory ISBRL),
University of Glasgow with a donation of £4,000 in September
2020 and a further donation in September 2021. The SBRL, led
by Professor R O'connor, President of the International
Association for Suicide Prevention, is one of the leading suicide
and self-harm research groups internationally. Working in
partnership with clinicians, policy-makers and people with lived
experience the impact of the research at SBRL is lo advance
understanding and prevention of suicide. The PhD research
project that is part-sponsored by Jonathan's Voice is being
undertaken by Ms Susie Bennett. Her research explores male
suicide, specifically the cultural and social factors Ihat put men at
risk of suicidal despair and the factors Ihat can aid men to
recover a meaningful lrfe. This project is conlinuing into 2022.
The main achievements to date are as follows. A systematic
review, the first of its kind, was undertaken and looked at all the
worldwide qualitative research on men who are suicidal. It
synthesized Ihe findings from 78 studies on Ihe critical suicide
risk and recovery factors for men. Findings highlighted the
central role of cultural norms of masculinity in male suicide and
were reported as a risk factor in 95°/D of papers. A survey was
then designed and piloted the measures to use for a survey
further exploring male suicide. 3,123 participants were recruited
from all over Ihe world. The questions in the survey were based
on findings from the syslematic review and explored things like
self-esleem, attitudes lo emotional expression, connections to
others. childhood experiences - all polential risk factors for
suicidal feelings in men. Going forward, Ihe next part of the
research will be a quantilalive analysis of key measures against
three different groups: men who are not suicidal, men with
suicidal thoughts bul who have not attempted suicide. men who
have attempled suicide
Fundraising
Jonathan's Voice relies on the generous support it re￿iVeS from
individuals and organisations through donations and
sponsorship to carry out its charitable activities. Despite the
andemic. there have been number of im
ortanl fundraisin

events, particularly in the last few months. However, an event
that has had a very significant impact commenced in January
2021 when a group of 12 men comrnitted to run 6721 miles and
raise £6721 in memory of those 6721 people who had died by
suicide in the UK in 2019. In addition to the fundraising target
which has been achieved, there has been considerable
engagement over the year, through the group s website and
regular posts and tweets, that has kept the issue of mental
health and suicide, particularly among men, very much alive.
The Gharity was engaged with the Southwell Music Festival {see
above) and raised £2132. Short talks were given before events
and donations were received. Trustees of the charity were able
to talk to people infomially about mental health issues and
distribute resources The impact was that more people became
aware of the stark statistics about suicide and had an
opportunity to share their experiences.
Other sponsored events provided the opportunity via the
Jonathan's Voice Just Giving page for the organizer to write
about the Gharity, mental health and their reason for promoting
the event, thus bringing peoples, attention to mental health and
suicide in a very personal and impacfful way. Of note, is a
sponsored walk along Hadrian's Wall in memory of a man who
died by suicide. The walk raised £13,032 from 274 supporters,
all of whom will have had an increased knowledge about mental
health and suicide.

Financial Review
Review of the charity s
financial position al the end
of the period
Para 1 21
Total receipts for the period 01111120 to 31110121
were £37,790 and total payments were £28,145.
93010 of our income was spent on charitable
activities. At 3111012021 the charity had
reserves and cash in the bank of £84,136. All
income received in the period was unrestricled.
This is a positive position for the charity to be in
and provides the opportunity to scale up activity
in the next 12 months.
The Trustees aim to retain free reserves at a
level sufficient to cover 3 months of expenditure.
This will enable the charity to protect the
continuity of its core activities during any periods
of reduced income. The level of reserves
required is therefore £15,000 and the charity
currenll holds free reseNes in eX￿$S of this
