Confidence Tricks

Our small local charity aims to develop and run creative activities in and around Sheffield to  raise awareness about mental health in young people and help develop different methods of support. It has been set up to commemorate the life and spirit of Dora Rachel Franks Daniel.  Dora worked as Community Liaison for the University of Sheffield Students Union Volunteering Programme; she was well known across the city and had a positive impact in many ways. Dora was open about her own struggles with mental health; her bravery around this was inspiring and it translated into care for others.
