A Social Cause designed to raise money and help small businesses. It started here in the Yorkshire Dales, by giving my hens eggs away in return for donations to Yorkshire Cancer Research. A unique and successful concept, all I've done is move it into the cloud so that everyone can benefit from this great idea through a mobile app called Hatch Patch.

I think the story is great.

Any good cause can benefit from Hatch Patch, charities, school PTAs, churches, clubs, associations, you name it, if they are a not for profit organisation, Hatch Patch is here to help.

Also here to help any small business by giving them an affordable solution to advertising and connecting their market on their Patch

A survivor of depression and anxiety, I now try and help others with the complicated and tragic issue.

In 2012 when i lost my dad to cancer, I struggled with the whole situation. I found it hard to talk to family, friend or loved ones. Back then I knew I wanted to do something to help people, 7 years later, here it is.

A Social Cause, Group Hug App is free, powered by volunteers here to help free your mind.

In my experience, not being able to talk can sometime fuel the mental health issues and make things worse.

I created the idea and within 2 weeks I had signed up 6 Group Hugs to operate on launch.

I really do think this will make a difference to many people, which is why I've pledged to help 100000 people in the first 2 years.

I first created the brand image Yorkshire Dales Life to help promote the eggs sales for donations to Yorkshire Cancer Research.

Since then, over 2000 followers watch and look as I share my new life living in the Yorkshire Dales.

Its here where the beautiful countryside has enabled me to diversify my spare time into helping others, being creative and raising money.
