 “We are very pleased that Belfast International Airport has chosen to focus on and support mental health and wellbeing in the coming year and we are delighted to be named as their Charity of the Year.  Our team in AMH will be working alongside BIA to organise and support a number of fundraising activities and events.  We also hope to run a number of joint initiatives to raise awareness, tackle stigma and promote positive mental health.”

John Doran, managing director Belfast International Airport, said

“Both Action Mental Health and Belfast International Airport are celebrating their 50^th anniversary in 2013 and this was an excellent way of celebrating this significant milestone.  We look forward to supporting AMH to raise much needed funds to support the invaluable work which they undertake.”
