The Foundation is currently supported by 9 volunteers and consultants, all of whom give their time around their careers and day to day lives.

As the charity starts to increase in size, there will be a need for further volunteers. If you are interested in joining our team, please keep visiting our Volunteers page, where positions will be advertised. All potential volunteers will be required to complete an application form and references will be obtained. Depending on the role applied for the Foundation may need to complete an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring check.

I starting working with Frank in 2003 The Frank Bruno Foundation I have been in background since its inception and now find myself in a management position. My role is to ensure the smooth running of the charity and deliver the promises laid out when Frank first decided he wanted to do something to help those with Mental Health issues.

Roger Eddowes

Non Voting Board Member

I joined the Foundation in March 2019 as an advisor. I passionately believe that as a nation we need to continue to break down the stigma around mental health and provide the support to those who succumb to mental health issues. I run a successful accountancy practice advising individuals and families in business and have seen first-hand how clients suffer from events outside their control. A support mechanism is crucial for these clients and it’s great to be able to assist a charity whose aim is to support and help too.
