OUR TEAM
JACK
ARTISTIC DIRECTOR
As the artistic director of M.I.N.D.E.R I am the driving force behind our vision. The aim is to raise awareness of OCD and depression in young males, by working collaboratively with the local community, and mental health organisations. Breaking down stigma, creating conversation and raising awareness is what I am dedicated to making sure happens in our workshops and events.
ANNA
OUTREACH OFFICER
As Outreach Officer, I look to developing relationships with community leaders and liaising between various constituents such as, local charities, council and the university. I administer organisational programmers aimed at addressing men’s mental health and act as the point of exchange for the company, sharing and informing both the company and its established constituents of the new and relative information. I am initially the interface between the company and community. I will provide educational packs when necessary. Also, I reach out to professional working artists from the surrounding area to assist with the artistic workshops, poets, musicians, actors and artists.

SOPHIE
FUNDRAISING
My job role is to seek financial support for our company. I will oversee the ideas behind all of our fundraisers creating fun and dynamic ways of which we can raise money that are suitable and appropriate to the theme of our company. I will also oversee sourcing prizes and funding from companies in the Portsmouth area. Our company’s goal is to raise a substantial amount for a charity related to our topic, so a part of my job will be ensuring our fundraisers are successful and enable us to raise as much money as possible to support the chosen charity.
