You'd never picture your new business failing.

Neither could Stephen.

As the former owner of a thriving design company, Stephen encountered a significant mental health challenge that prompted him to leave the business and embark on a career transition.

After seeking support and reaching out to the Pure, the IPS team quickly recognised his potential and referred Stephen for a better-off-in-work calculation and connected him with the DWP for advice on establishing his new venture.

Taking the initiative, Stephen independently created his own website and officially launched his jewellery business in February. With the right support, he's pursued his passion whilst effectively managing his mental well-being.

Inspirational 💙

Every penny that we collect on parade goes to our chosen charity, so on carnival day when you see our marshals with collection buckets, please dig deep and help us raise some much needed funds for this charity!
