We are very lucky to have Gemma on rotation to the Policy Team as part of @wellcometrust’s graduate scheme. Not only is she doing fantastic policy work, we are also benefiting from her incredible baking skills. Today it’s the #SDGs in biscuit form! 🤯

This is such deeply sad news. It has been a joy watching Lea do such brilliant things for mental health research as CEO of MQ. He's going to be hugely missed and my thoughts are with his family, friends, and colleagues.
MQ Mental Health Research@MQmentalhealth

It is with great sadness that we announce the death of MQ’s CEO Lea Milligan who passed away following a sudden illness on Monday the 15th of April. Our thoughts are with Lea, his children and family as well as his many friends and colleagues. 1/3
