An RAF veteran who struggled with his own depression and was suicidal for two years has managed to reach out and help over 100 other men.
James Fildes set up a men's mental health group based in Sunderland and is now looking to expand what it does, after helping over 100 people in its first 12 months, since being set up in April 2022.
Founder of the SPACE North East Community Interest Company, James was discharged from the RAF through injury, and he found it hard to adjust to life at university, feeling lost and unable to adjust to life being back as a civilian.
