I can’t believe I’m writing this mate. Jen and I completely numb.
You were one of the kindest, most thoughtful, and loving people I’ve ever known and we were lucky, as a family, to call you a close friend.
You may have been a warrior in the ring, but you had the gentlest of hearts. Always putting others before yourself, you were the most considerate person, someone who truly cared.

From the day we told you Jen was pregnant and you shed tears from sheer pride and happiness. To singing Oasis together on the guitar, to naming you as Tackling Minds’ ambassador, and all the amazing times we shared, both at home and abroad…

We’ve lost a huge part of ourselves today.

But I promise I’ll keep banging the drum for mental health, loud and proud, just like we always said.

The two photos say it all. You were the epitome of love and care, and wherever you went, laughter followed.

Thank you for always being there, especially during the toughest times.

Our hearts are with Campbell, Millie, Fearne, Lyla, and the whole family.

You will be truly missed Rick.
Until we meet again, rest easy my friend.
Dave 💙💙💙💙Xxxx

Ricky Hatton: “Fishing is exactly like boxing in terms of being good for your mental health. If it gives your mind something else to focus on, away from negativity, it can only be a good thing.”

More than fishing. More than a partnership. 💛🎣

We sat down with the team at @tackling.minds to hear more about the incredible work they do and what our new partnership means to them.

Having already reached over 4,000 people, Tackling Minds are making a real difference through fishing, supporting individuals facing mental health challenges, addiction and social isolation.

Their work is also part of NHS social prescribing, helping people find connection, purpose and support through the outdoors.

And in recognition of their incredible contribution to the community, they’ve been awarded The King’s Award for Voluntary Service. 👏

At Storm in the Community, we’re incredibly proud to be partnering with an organisation that shares our belief in the power of community, connection and creating opportunities for everyone.

Different journeys. Shared values. One community. 🏒💛 by @tackling.minds

Rest in peace to two very special people we’ve sadly lost to cancer, one today and one only a couple of weeks ago.
chelsea one of Jen’s (my partner) best friends and someone who was loved by so many people, passed away today at just 30 years old after such a long and incredibly hard battle. It’s absolutely heartbreaking. You fought with everything you had Chels, and I’ll miss your banter, your personality and the way you brought so much to the people around you.
Much love to Nathan, Ned, all of Chelsea’s family and all of her friends. So many people loved her, and my heart goes out to everyone trying to come to terms with such a devastating loss.

And to a lifelong friend Gaz Palmer, who also gave cancer the best fight he possibly could. Gaz was someone who meant a lot to so many people. He was always there with words of wisdom, support and kindness, and he always supported Tackling Minds and everything we stand for. He genuinely believed in helping people and in the work we were trying to do.
My thoughts are with Nicola, all of Gaz’s family and all of his friends who are grieving such a huge loss.

It’s hard to put into words how cruel life can be sometimes. Two good people, both deeply loved, both taken far too soon.

Chelsea and Gaz. You’ll both be missed more than words can say. ❤️💙 by @tackling.minds

Tackling Minds had another fantastic session supporting people in addiction recovery at Rochdale and District Angling Society.
As our organisation was founded by someone who has personally struggled with addiction, we know only too well just how beneficial fishing can be in recovery. It gives people something positive to focus on and can help take their mind away from using.
What also makes these sessions different is the setting. They’re not clinical, and they’re not your typical recovery meeting such as AA or CA. The focus is on the water, in a relaxed environment, and we often find that people feel more comfortable opening up naturally while they’re fishing.
None of these sessions would be possible without our inspirational King’s Award volunteers, who give their time week after week to support others.

If you’d like to volunteer, head over to the Volunteer’ tab on our website.
