Mental Health Week – Finding Wilson (Fact Not Fiction)
In 2020, The Lucy Rayner Foundation collaborated with Film company ‘Fact not Fiction’ to create a short film called ‘Finding Wilson’ which highlights the story of a young girl named Jess, suffering with her mental health. The film also shares how she was being bullied at school and how this caused her mental health to decline.
The film includes themes such as; Anxiety (which is the theme for Mental Health Week 2023), PTSD, Depression and Suicidal Ideation.
This Mental Health Week we are really excited to be able to release the film publicly for the very first time!
Just a few of the things we achieved in 2022

This service is for families who have faced the pain of losing a loved one to suicide. We provide assistance during the initial aftermath and offer access to long-term resources to support families going forward.
A range of ad-hoc training programmes to help gain a deeper understanding of mental health.
Raising Mental Health Awareness
Did you know that each year approximately 1 in 4 people experience a problem with their mental health?
We firmly believe prevention is better than cure, and for us, that means giving people a voice to talk about their feelings without shame or judgement.
We aim to break down barriers around mental health awareness in schools, universities and workplaces, and we do this by holding regular half-day talks and workshops throughout the Surrey region.
