What a fantastic thing to do. Well done to Mike and all at The Appleyard!

A Huge Thank You to Mike Farrow, Director of The Appleyard. www.theappleyard.net

On behalf of all of us at Mentalk Health, we want to extend our deepest thanks to Mike Farrow, Director of The Appleyard, for his incredible support and generosity.

Mike’s recent donation of benches for our Mentalk Health Land Project means more than words can express. These benches will become spaces of rest, reflection, and connection for the men we support — a simple gesture with a lasting impact.

The Appleyard is not only home to fantastic venues — it’s built on genuine values, community spirit, and good people behind the scenes. We are proud to work alongside businesses that lead with integrity and heart.

Thank you, Mike — for standing with us, for believing in what we do, and for being part of this journey. 💙
