William Howarth

Having retired from full time work in a career that included senior finance and management roles at Ladybird Books, the BBC & latterly YHA (England & Wales), William is delighted to now have this opportunity to join the Board of Trustees of Mind over Mountains.

Seeing close family members really struggle opened his understanding of how mental health can adversely affect people in very different ways, & the need for a range of helping strategies.

William was introduced to the delights of the hills & mountains as a Venture Scout and together with music & sport, being active has personally helped him over the years maintain his own mental health. 

The Mind over Mountains approach of restoring mental health, naturally; is therefore one which resonates powerfully with William, and he looks forward to helping the charity deliver on its exciting plans for the future.
