JJX Logistics, based in Kingswindford, offered to sponsor the lorry to help the Dudley Mind raise awareness of mental health problems and encourage people to donate to Dudley Mind.

The new livery was launched to coincide with Mental Health Awareness Week, an annual campaign to raise awareness of mental health.

John Joseph Donovan, managing director at JJX Logistics, based on the Pensnett Trading Estate, said: “Using one of our vans is a very visible way to raise awareness of mental health and Dudley Mind. We hope when people see the van driving around it will make them think about mental health more and give much needed support to this great local charity.”

Mark Evans, marketing officer at Dudley Mind said: “Mental health problems affect one in four people in any year. That means most people will know someone affected by poor mental health. Having our message on this van is such a brilliant way to raise awareness of mental health.”

He added: “We’re hugely grateful to John and JJX Logistics for sponsoring their van. It was such a great way for us to launch Mental Health Awareness Week 2018 and helps promote us as a local charity.”
