Bolton Community Champion Toni Porter
Toni Porter
Community Champion for Halliwell, Horwich South and Blackrod
I have previously worked as a nurse in Mental Health services and also as a teacher, teaching maths and IT to people over the age of 16. I currently do voluntary work with a charity called Familly Lives and, with the Bolton UCAN centres. I am an avid animal lover and we have too many dogs! I enjoy meeting people and helping people. We're all in this together, and as a community we can help each other.
"I care passionately about mental health and I have both professional and personal experience of depression and anxiety. Thankfully, we are talking about mental health more than we used to, however, it is still hard to open up and ask for help."
I am a Digital Champion and a Mental Health Champion.
