Our Story

The Elliot Project was founded in 2020 following Elliot Hennell's tragic passing.

Elliot, a former Grenadier Guard, had a lifelong ambition to serve in the army. Despite his military achievements, he battled with mental health issues, ultimately leading to his untimely death.

In response, his family and friends established The Elliot Project, offering free mental health awareness, personalised support, and first aid training across the UK through Mental Health First Aid England.

Their goal is to educate the wider community and provide them with the tools required to help those struggling in a mental health crisis.
