Back Onside is proud to share the latest addition to the More Than Just a Brew campaign. Launched in August 2025, the campaign highlights how a simple cup of coffee can be the first step on a life-saving mental health journey.

This film showcases just how powerful that coffee can be.

The film is based around Andrew’s story. His bravery in sharing his experience allowed us to show how life-changing, and life saving Back Onside’s services are, and how vital having that lifeline is – that so often starts with “let’s grab a coffee”. Huge thank you to Andrew for sharing his story, we’re so grateful for his support.

We also want to thank the amazing people that made the production happen. Without the sponsorship support of Insite Group and Harbour Accountancy, this video simply wouldn’t be possible, and we couldn’t be more grateful for their support. To Jordan Young, Jane McCarry and Rory Douglas Speed, thank you for bringing your talent to our production, and a huge thank you also to the team at Up Next studio, for producing the film.
