The Stuart Low Trust (SLT) was founded in 1999 following the suicide of a young man, Stuart Low, who lived and died in Islington, North London. He was 27. Stuart’s experience as someone with a psychiatric diagnosis, but without the right support, prompted local people to found a trust in his memory with the purpose of providing activities for people with mental illness, or who are living with psychological distress and despair, and who have become socially isolated. The emphasis is on providing activities at evenings and weekends, when people are at their most vulnerable. The trust offers a warm, inclusive welcome to around 200 people each month. SLT holds an event every Friday evening of the year near Angel, Islington, which provides the opportunity to socialise, a presentation, workshop or musical performance and free, nutritious refreshments. Anyone is welcome to attend. SLT also runs: Here is what some Stuart Low Trust participants have said: “Stuart Low Trust is a vital organisation helping people who feel marginalised elsewhere.” “Stuart Low is a very supportive organisation which makes a big difference to me. I am trying to deal with a lot of difficult personal issues and being able to come here is very important to me. In these difficult times it is even more so.” “Coming here definitely saved the local PCT money in therapy/counselling – would need a lot more if I couldn’t do Stuart Low Trust activities.”
