110 - Jane was born and raised in London, in what can only be described as a very ‘normal’ household, with four siblings, and a mum and dad, who quite simply, adored each other, and still do! There was always a pet of some kind in their household.

Nothing remarkable happened, certainly no great traumas, yet, at the age of 11, Jane developed a serious eating disorder. It wasn’t until age 35, that Jane got a handle on recovery, thanks in no small part, to the best dog to ever walk the planet – a beautiful, soulful, rescue bulldog named Crystal.

That special dog taught Jane the true meaning of unconditional love and gave her the courage to join life again. The endless cycle of hospital admissions stopped, and for the last 15 years Jane has worked in the field of mental health and substance misuse, campaigning for better services, developing projects to challenge stigma, and educate people about mental illness.

Jane is passionate about a fairer welfare system for low-income families, and she is currently employed by a wonderful organization which helps people access financial and emotional support, as well as practical services.

Jane’s main ‘love’ in life, outside of her work, is and always has been, animals. She spends every moment of her spare time with her crazy greyhound, Daisy. Jane also enjoys reading, watching ‘rubbish’ TV, and spending time with her family.
