Introduction
Andy Pittway brings a powerful combination of personal Lived Experience and unwavering compassion to his role as Strategic Advisor. His journey through mental health challenges, alcohol dependence, and caring for a loved one in crisis has shaped his deep commitment to reform and recovery.

Andy’s path into advocacy began during a harrowing period when his son faced a serious mental health episode. Thrust into a system marked by fragmentation, confusion, and limited support, Andy experienced firsthand the despair of navigating services alone. This traumatic chapter left a lasting mark, and lit a fire within him to ensure others never have to walk that road unsupported.

But the experience also became a turning point for Andy himself. In the quiet after the crisis, he turned inward and bravely confronted his own mental health struggles and reliance on alcohol. Acknowledging that he, too, was silently unwell, Andy made the life-changing decision to stop drinking and commit to his own recovery, halting what he recognises now as a dangerous downward spiral.

This dual experience, as both a carer and someone on a personal recovery journey, fuels Andy’s empathy, resilience, and dedication to change. He is a passionate advocate for mental health reform, homelessness solutions, and system transformation, using his voice to influence policy, service design, and community strategy.

Andy is also a compelling public speaker, known for his heartfelt honesty and strength. He shares not only the difficult moments but also the mindset shifts and recovery practices that helped him reclaim his life. His stories spark hope, break down stigma, and provide practical guidance for others walking a similar path.

Above all, Andy believes that no one should feel invisible or alone. His advocacy is grounded in the belief that systems must be co-designed with those who have lived through them, making them more compassionate, accessible, and human. At the heart of Andy’s mission is the desire to rebuild community, a world where everyone feels seen, supported, and never left behind.
