About Us
The Life Matters charity was set up to help children and young adults who find themselves struggling to cope with everyday life, self-harming or even suicide ideation or attempts.
We found that there is a vital need for more services to provide targeted care and support to schools and other organisations who have vulnerable children in their care who need special attention, care and support.
We provide a service that helps children and young adults to overcome barriers and to support them towards a brighter future.
If we could all understand that the brain is the most important organ of our body.
Just because you can't see mental illness like you see broken bones does not mean that it is not detrimental or devastating to families and individuals.
The founder herself Mary Brockwell has also faced many mental health challenges as well as losing her own brother to suicide; but she always knew that one day she would do something to help children and young people as this would be her life mission.

​
So, after leaving school aged just 13 years old, Mary's dream was to make a difference in the world. This was not going to be easy, but with her sheer determination and strong will - she was not going to give up.
​
On her journey she met a very special lady named Penelope Christmas Saksida. Penelope became one of the first trustees and was a magical inspirer giving courage, strength and empowerment to the founder, which is also one of the reasons of why the charity helps so many children today.
​
Sadly, we lost Penelope on July 7th, 2022, but her loving memory goes on as we strive to keep our promise to her that the charity will continue to grow in strength, We know that she would be proud of what we have achieved.
​
Thank you Penelope Christmas Saksida for playing a very special role in the charity.
