Our Founders' Stories
Scott Allan
Founder of Open minds open doors give back CIC
My mental health hit an all-time low after a traumatic incident with my daughter. It brought up so many suppressed memories, and before I knew it, I was diagnosed with complex PTSD.
​
Rebuilding myself wasn’t easy, but it taught me a lot. Now, I’m using my journey to help others get the support they need, when they need it. Because no one should have to fight alone.

Having suffered with Negative mental health for many years unknowingly suppressing it. It all came to a head when my wife was unwell, and lock down killed my business I reached rock bottom and was looking at ways to end my life and my family be able to claim my life insurance. Unfortunately, whilst trying to get help there was nothing available and the NHS was just over run and struggling.
Now I am in a much better place in my journey I have dedicated my life to assisting those who need help either physically or mentally to achieve it in a timely fashion.
