The Leanne Baker Trust was set up in memory of Leanne Baker who sadly took her own life in June 2013 after suffering from clinical depression.
The charity’s trustees, including Leanne’s brother Darren, his wife Abigail, and Leanne’s friend Kerri, want to be able to guide those that suffer from depression to the support available and increase awareness surrounding the stigma of mental health. Initially, the idea was to set up a localised Huddersfield base with the support of Huddersfield University to offer support to young people suffering from depression and anxiety.
The Leanne Baker Trust is also keen to support other mental health charities.
