Following a fall at work in October 2022, Kieron Fletcher found himself grappling with mental health issues during his recovery period. His journey toward healing took an unexpected turn when he discovered solace in running, with his brother Michael by his side. Kieron reached out to the Electrical Industries Charity (EIC) as he wanted to help generate awareness of the charity and the work it does for those in the electrical and energy sectors.
His journey isn’t just about personal growth; it’s a call to action for the entire community. The charity tells us that Kieron embodies empathy and determination, and that by partnering with the EIC, he now aims to amplify his impact, recognising the importance of established support networks in tackling mental health issues.
Kieron and his brother’s commitment to this new passion for running is now leading them to participate in various races across the UK. Through their fundraising efforts, they aim to shine a spotlight on the vital work of the EIC.
The EIC commends Kieron’s initiative in reaching out to them, and state that his dedication serves as an inspiration, demonstrating the profound impact that one person can have on their community. The charity says that with Kieron leading the charge, the industry is reminded of the importance of prioritising mental health and fostering a culture of inclusivity and support.
The EIC is inviting ECN readers to join Kieron and Michael in their mission to support mental health within the electrical industry, and says that your donations will not only provide crucial assistance to those in need, but also help raise awareness about the resources available through the EIC. As a result, the charity hopes that it can ensure that no one in the electrical community suffers in silence, and that everyone has access to support.
