JCIP #278 - Evan Grant

In episode 278 of The Just Checking In Podcast we checked in with Evan Grant. Evan Grant is a mental health campaigner and the Co-Founder, alongside his wife Carol and son Alastair of the Cameron Grant Memorial Trust. The Trust was set up in memory of his son Cameron, who tragically took his own life in 2014, when he was just 21 years old. Cameron's death devastated Evan's family and they set up the Trust shortly after Cameron's death to try and change the conversation around mental health. Wee came across Evan's story through James' Place UK as he was interviewed by The Times as part of the newspaper's Christmas Appeal, in which Evan called for another centre to be set up in Birmingham, alongside the centres already established in London, Liverpool and Newcastle. In this episode, we discuss Evan's 35-year career at IBM, fatherhood, Cameron's life, his love of ultimate frisbee, his suicide and the grief that was inflicted upon him and his family then, and how he reflects on it 10 years on. We then discuss the work that the Cameron Grant Memorial Trust has done over those 10 years, shipping over 1.4m of Cameron's Coasters and more than 230,000 postcards and business cards around the UK, Evan's public speaking work in schools, universities and workplaces and letting everyone know that “There is always someone you can talk to.” As always, #itsokaytovent You can find out more about the Cameron Grant Memorial Trust here: https://www.camgrant.org.uk/ You can follow the Trust on social media below: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cammemorial/ You can read The Sunday Times article we discussed in full here: https://www.thetimes.com/uk/society/article/avoid-the-hurt-of-the-lost-years-and-lost-chances-suicide-christmas-appeal-bxv70m3v6.

We've never done this before, but heck, why not?! So, here is the first ever Colombia Calling Christmas Appeal in our 11 plus years of being on the air. Cartagena Paws and their supported Foundation of Tu Fiel Amigo in Cartagena have been on our radar for some time and a certainly deserving of some welcome help. We speak to Maureen Cattieu about the work of Cartagena Paws and Tu Fiel Amigo. ​ Cartagena is home to nearly 400,000 street animals and the population is ever growing. As a way to help combat the overpopulation and contagious illnesses, Cartagena Paws has begun conducting large scale spay and release clinics, in addition to vaccine clinics in and around Cartagena. Spay and Neuter clinics serve two purposes: wide scale vaccination of both pets and strays and spay/neutering of stray animals. Maureen Cattieu founded Cartagena Paws in 2015, when she was living and teaching abroad in Cartagena, Colombia. Maureen spent over 10 years in Colombia working to help save the animals on the streets while focusing her instruction in the classroom on teaching empathy and compassion for all animals and living things. She currently lives and teaches in Key West, Florida, but continues to run Cartagena Paws, Inc. to the fullest of her abilities and saves countless lives throughout the years. She is dedicated to continuing out her lifelong mission to create positive change and awareness in the community and construct the first ever Educational-Based Animal Rescue Center in Cartagena, Colombia.  There's WishList of Amazon if you feel like contributing.  https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3C93C87TISSII?ref_=wl_share
