Remembering Winston – renaming our men’s mental wellbeing innovation fund for Somerset

Stepladder, our men’s mental wellbeing project in Somerset, offers funding for groups and activities through the Innovation Fund.

We’ve supported some wonderful initiatives since Stepladder launched in September 2021 including:

Stepladder’s team manager Winston Williams was a driving force behind the project, passionate about men’s mental health and supporting men to find the strength to ask for help when things weren’t going well.

Tragically, Winston died suddenly in April, a huge loss to his family, friends, colleagues and the Stepladder project as a whole.

As a tribute to our beloved colleague and friend, Winston, with his family’s blessing, we have renamed the initiative in his honour. The innovation fund will now be known as The Winston Innovation Fund. It remains open for individuals and organisations to propose visionary projects, events, training programmes, or community activities that support men’s wellbeing and mental health in Somerset.

As we honour Winston’s memory, we invite you to be part of creating a positive impact on men’s mental wellbeing and build a more supportive, understanding community making a lasting difference for men’s mental health in Somerset.
