00:02 - It's 26 years since Frank Bruno

00:04 was World Heavyweight Champion.

00:06 Boxing made him, but his fame from that famous night

00:10 at Wembley Stadium masked his ongoing battles

00:13 with mental health.

00:15 The Frank Bruno Foundation, set up with the help

00:17 of Northampton Borough Council in 2017,

00:20 is his way of helping others.

00:23 - It's about people going through what mental health.

00:26 People out there not believing in themselves,

00:29 it's a confidence booster.

00:31 It's just helping people in general.

00:33 And we just invite people in to train them

00:35 and look after them, you know what I mean?

00:37 Give them the good advice for later on in their life.

00:41 - The medical profession supports Frank's belief

00:44 that exercise is key to recovery.

00:47 - With my own practice within mental health,

00:50 the values of the foundation here work very much

00:52 to the values that I've always practiced to.

00:55 It's for me, understanding what mental health is.

00:59 We only speak negatively of mental health,

01:01 but I believe and the foundation believes

01:03 that we all experience positive mental health,

01:06 negative mental health, and then there's mental ill health.

01:09 But we don't focus on the positive enough

01:10 and what we need to do to help people

01:13 come out of mental ill health

01:14 and understand positive mental health

01:16 and give those guys the tools they need.

01:19 (applause)

01:23 - The Bruno Foundation, it doesn't stick labels on people.

01:27 It doesn't make you feel like you're a diagnosis.

01:30 It doesn't make you feel like you're just a unit.

01:34 It makes you feel like an individual.

01:36 They get to know you.

01:37 You get to know other people.

01:39 And there's a sense of, a real sense of something personal

01:42 that I don't think comes from a lot of other schemes.

01:45 - What we don't do is tell people

01:46 what they're gonna do on the course.

01:48 We actually tell them around what they need

01:49 rather than the other way around.

01:51 But we don't ever close the door.

01:52 We always keep the doors open to all our clients.

01:55 They can always come back at any point.

01:57 They don't have to make an appointment

01:58 like they do everywhere else.

02:00 We're here and open to try and help them

02:01 get on the better platform.

02:04 - It means a lot helping people and being there for people

02:08 and having a place where you can chill out

02:10 and unload, you know what I mean?

02:12 People need, especially men, they need to cry a little bit,

02:16 you know what I mean, to get the tension out of their bodies

02:18 but it's just to help people

02:19 who are going through mental health.

02:23 - Mental health can affect men, women,

02:25 and children of all ages, even world champions.

02:29 The Frank Bruno Foundation needs your donations

02:32 to continue what it's doing.

02:34 Thank you on behalf of all the people

02:36 who will be helped by your support.
