About Roy
Roy is a qualified Youth Worker and mental health advocate.

He is a tutor with The Recovery College, delivers Relax Kids, and is a keen writer and performer.
“Having struggled myself with mental health before (and sometimes still do, because we all have off days), I’m passionate in developing opportunities that allow children and young people to fully engage in their understanding of mental health. I’m pleased to be joining the Discovery College in these early stages!”
