MATS Consultancy have done it again!
Not only did our Director help Debbie Rogers with the initial set up of Sean's Place, understanding the need for additional mental health support services within the Liverpool City Region, having struggled herself with mental health issues, but wanting to stand by a very worthy founder to create something in memory of her beloved brother Sean, who sadly took his own life.
We are proud to continue to sponsor the lounge at the site on Linacre Lane in Bootle, Merseyside for the third year in a row, and hope to continue with this relationship for many years to come.
Debbie posted on her LinkedIn profile at the end of 2023:
