conversation about mentsl health in the workplace and to
provide resources to organisalions and individuals in order to

society as a whole.
Par8
1.20
Improvlng mental health In workplaces - publications, talks
and related activities
Mental health awareness appears to have reached a turning
point over the past few years wilh people in the public eye being
prepared to talk more openly about their mental health
challenges. Whilst these stories help break down stigma and
may encourage people to seek support, it is clear that in many
workplaces stigma remains and many organizations fail to give
mental wellbeing sufficient priority.
Our main goal over Ihe year was to provide high-quality lalks
and webinars, supported by evidence-based resources. These
talks and webinars are designed to help individuals lo better look
after their mental heallh and wellbeing and to equip
organizations lo provide the necessary support structures. The
resources are available lo download free of charge from our
website and from the Mental Health at Work where all material is
curated by MIND

Approaches
come from reading the website, recommendations, hearing
about the work or a previous engagement. The Iraining is
intended to be bespoke and before a lalk is provided Ihe menlal
health consultant for Jonalhan's Voice will discuss wilh the
organisation what they wish lo see as the impacl of Ihe Iraining.
This results in positive feedback
"Best webinar I have watched in ages
this webinar
honestly made n7e feel its ok to not be ok,. We need more
webinars like this" The session generated lots of conversation
which is great"
During the year, Jonathan's Voice became increasingly well
known for the quality of its talks and presentations. One of the
charity's key objects is early career professionals. The group of
patent attorneys in training conducted a survey of mental health
and wellbeing. 11 found that
"IOOQ/o of respondents were aware of IP Inclusive and
Jonathan s Voice. 50% of them have accessed the resources
available and the ma
ori
of the rest were aware of the

resources available but hadn't felt the need to use them yet"
One of the webinars that was delivered to this group was shared
by JDD, a recognised IP training provider, indicating the high
quality of the material and having a wider impacl.
The professional organisalions for those who work in Intellectual
Propety11P1, Chartered Institute of Patent Attorneys ICIPA) and
CITMA (Chartered Institute of Trade Mark Attorneys) recognize
the quality and importance of the work Jonathan's Voice does.
This is reflected in invitations to conferences, either to rnake a
presentation andlor have an exhibitor's stand. IP Ilntellectual
Propetyl Inclusive recognizes Jonathan's Voice as the mental
health arm of the organization and calls upon us to share in or to
deliver webinars which have average audiences of
approximately 55. Our webinars are delivered by very
experienced and well qualified trainers. Such is their impact that
they are invited to return for other webinars.
Over the course of the year, the charity has delivered 18 talks or
webinars, including to organizations in Australia and the
Netherlands. Although the primary focus of our work is with the
intellectual property profession, the Gharity responds to other
invitations where they meet our objects. These have come from
Perceptive Education, post graduate researchers at UK Centre
for Ecology & Hydrology and Cambridge Law Society, reaching
360 people in these three groups.
Raising awareness of mental health issues- website, blogs,
social media newsletters
We have had articles about our work and about the importance
of mental health and wellbeing in the workplace published in the
following.. The Law Society Gazettle, Managing IP journal and
the Universily and College Counselling Journal. We are very
grateful lo the edilors and joumalists for assisting with these
publications which enable us ro reach a wider audience and
increase our impact. We also participated in a podcast, part of a
series for software engineers in universilies.
The charily Posts blogs on its website
onathansvoice.or
.uk l at a frequency of two to three per
month. The content ranges from looking after yourself and
looking after other people to information about recent research
and reports. Blogs are created specrfically for Ihis sile and for
significant days such as World Mental Health Awareness Day.
Blogs that relate to specific dates in the mental health calendar
are created in advance and shared with those organisations with
whom we work before "the day" so that they can be posted on
their websites and extend the readership. The charity tweets
about each blog to alert readers and some are posted on
Linkedln. On average, blogs have 600 to 700 reads. Those that
presently have the highest number are "Darkness to Hope"
(1,0981 to mark World Suicide Prevention Day and "Junior
Lawyers in the City at risk of burnout. {1,2951- these exemplify
the variety of the content and the aims of the charity.
The impact of the 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 organisations.
The website also hosts three
free to download
mental health

guides and our quarterly Newslelters which provide updates on
the work of the charity. We have made extensive developments
to our website in the past year to include a new section giving
detailed information on the bespoke training and consullancy we
offer that is that is delivered by accredited and experienced
mental health professionals and is provided free al the point of
delivery. Approaches have come from individuals and
organizations who have read about our work in the newly
crealed training and consultancy pages.
Our quarterly newsletters, distributed electronically using the
Mailchimp plalform, have conlinued to reach a wide audience
which has grown by around 200/D over year. We how have over
nearty 300 individuals who have asked to receive them and each
Newsletter is also made available for free download on our
website. During the year we have been pleased to receive
several complimentary comments about their content.
In the past year, we have refined our social media strategy,
ensuring that there is appropriate attention to diversity and
inclusion. Linkedln now has a more specific focus on businesses
whilst Twitter and Facebook continue to reach out to a wider
public audience and they continue to address issues of mental
health and suicide prevention that are of public concern.
Our Twitter page has retained its range of followers and now
numbers around 450. It had typically 3500 impressions (the
number of times users saw the tweet on Twitter) and on average
700 profile visits per month. Our Linkedln page increased its
followers by over 200 bringing the total to 460. We typically
received 300 impressions per post
We also established a presence on Facebook where
engagement has grown steadily.
Supporting research - Suicidal Behaviour Research
Laboratory, University of Glasgow
In 2021, Jonalhan's vol￿ has continued its support for a
research project at the Suicidal Behaviour Research Laboratory
(SBRLI. University of Glasgow with donation of £6000 in June
2022 and a further donation of £500 in August 2022. 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 wilh clinicians, policy-makers and people wilh lived
experience the impact of the research al SBRL is lo advance
understanding and prevention of suicide. The PhD research
projecl that is part-sponsored by Jonalhan's Voice is being
undertaken by Ms Susie Bennett. Her research explores male
suicide, specifically the cultural and social factors that put men at
risk of suicidal despair and the faclors that can aid men lo
recover a meaningful life. During the period of reporting, a 22-
poinl agenda of research priorities across 10 thematic domains
was developed. This included 1. Relationships with others, 2.
Relationship with self, 3. Relationship with emotions, 4. Mental
Health, 5. Suicidal behaviours, 6. Early life experiences, 7.
Structural challenges, 8. Cultural challenges, 9. At-risk groups,
and 10. Support and recovery. The expeclalion is that this
agenda will help global colleagues to strategically target
resources to deepen our understanding of the male suicide
crisis, to develop effective interventions, policies, public
understanding and ultimately help more men at risk of suicide to
access a di
nified, meanin
ful, and
ur
oseful life. This
ro
ect

is continuing into 2023 when Ms Bennett is expected to
complete her Ihesis and publish articles in prestigious academic
journals, thus giving confidence lo the trustees thal the
resources Ihal the charity will develop io communicate the
findings of the research to those beyond the academic
community. particularly men, are soundly based and therefore
have a significant and meaningful impact.
Fundraising
Jonathan's Voice relies on the generous support it receives from
organised funding raising events and donations from individuals
and businesses to cary out its charitsble activities. There has
been a significant increase in corporate donations this year
which will allow us to plan a more extensive programme of work
going fo￿ard. We continue to be most grateful to all those who
have donated, raised money and supported the charity over the
past 12 months. Fundraising events are an important means of
raising awareness with the general public of mental health
issues and the stark stalislics about suicide. Our JustGiving
page (htt s'.Ilwww.
ust
ivin
.coml'onalhansvoice ) gives an
indication of the breadth of fundraisers and activities suGh as
participation in the Bristol 1 OK and a sponsored workout on
World SLJicide Prevention Day amongst many other individual
donations. The Jonathan's Voice JustGiving page provides an
opportunity for the organizer to write about the charity, mental
health and their reason for promoting the event, thus bringing
peoples, attention to mental health and suicide in a very
personal and impactful way.

96 /0 of our expenditure was on our chariiable
activities. Al 3111012022 the charity had reseNes
and cash in the bank of£134,947. All income
received in the period was unrestricted.
This is a very positive position for the charity to
be in and provides the opportunity to continue to
scale up our charitable activities in the 2022-
2023 charit
ear.
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 Gore activities during any periods
of reduced income. The level of reserves
required is therefore £15,000 and the charity
