Dan Allen and Ed Ross are two lifelong friends and skilled carpenters who have transformed their passion into purpose. Following the tragic loss of Dan’s close friend to suicide in 2015, they set out to create two innovative organisations that have since had a profound and measurable impact on mental health awareness and support in the community.
They are the founders of the social enterprise workwear company, TradeMutt, and free counselling service, TIACS. Their colourful eye-catching shirts – you have to check them out! – and community engagement aim to raise awareness about mental health and encourage open conversations. They have seen firsthand the positive changes their initiatives have fostered within communities, including increased awareness, reduced stigma, and more individuals seeking help.
