Living in Skipton, North Yorkshire, Emma is the founder of SELFA Children’s Charity, which provides mental health support for young people in the area.
“There’s quite a high level of rural poverty so you can imagine that it’s compacted by lack of access to services, your access to food banks, to cheaper food, to affordable fuel. And we see those all coming together to form the perfect storm really, where families feel that they can no longer cope with the situation that they’re in. And I think all those things impact children’s mental health.”
