Snippet<br />

PETER Green from Oxted whose teenage daughter Molly took her own life in 2015 and who<br />

is a trustee of the local charity Clockwork, aimed at dealing with young suicide and<br />

depression , features on a new Lloyds Bank advertising campaign on Channel 4 tv.<br />

Lloyds Bank tackles mental health prejudices in the new ad campaign which has celebrities<br />

including Professor Green, Jeremy Paxman, Rachel Riley and Alex Brooker helping to start<br />

more open conversations about mental health.<br />

The stars, members of the public and bank employees play a version of the "Who am I?"<br />

sticky-note guessing game to explore misconceptions about living with a non-visible<br />

disability.<br />

The tv spots coincide with research by Lloyds Bank and the charity Mental Health UK, which<br />

finds that 75% of people still think there is stigma attached to mental health issues. However<br />

72% of those surveyed say society has a better understanding of mental health, with the<br />

openness of celebrities and media coverage believed to have contributed to those<br />

improvements.<br />

The campaign also runs on All 4.<br />

After his daughter’s tragic death Peter and his wife Vicki have launched the annual Molly’s<br />

Run in Master Park, Oxted, and Peter has run the London Marathon for the Mental Health<br />

Foundation.<br />
