Falmouth Fairfax’s Story
We chose Mind as a charity for a few reasons. A recent survey from *The Chartered Institute of Building suggested that those in the real estate and construction industry can be more prone to certain mental health struggles than other industries. The 2020 CIOB report highlighted the stark reality of poor mental health, 3x the UK average with over 70% of respondents experienced severe depression or anxiety each year. Secondly, Mind is a charity close to our hearts, with one of our founders understanding the first-hand impact this can have. Sadly, his brother, a young doctor, battled with mental health and depression in 2013. Working with Mind allows us to play a small part in helping individuals and families affected.
