Joe Plumb Talks Kindness
AFTER suffering bullying throughout his school years, Joe Plumb set up a charity to help others going through similar at the tender age of 13.
A decade on and Joe has dedicated his life to raising awareness of mental health issues and during lockdown helped those in need through his social media pages.
I was always different. I was diagnosed with autism at seven and that was enough to make me stand out. I didn't have any friends, teachers didn't know how to deal with me.
At school I was physically and verbally abused, I was spat at. Aged 13, I launched a campaign called Stand Out, Seek Help and very quickly it went global. I went from being this kid that everyone hated to someone people were listening to.
Joe's mental health deteriorated through his teenage years leading to various diagnoses including bipolar disorder and mixed personality disorder. He self-harmed and made several attempts to take his own life.
Aged 16 he was admitted to a psychiatric unit and later was taken into care.
At the age of 13 Joe set up the 'Speak Up, Speak Out’ campaign with support from James Arthur, Sinitta Malone and Richard Branson, the campaign went global.
Joe campaigned to change mental health services and implement better ways to help children and young people stand up and speak out against bullying.
Joe in partnership with the Home Office, developed a supportive disclosure toolkit to help those with Autism and other additional learning needs, better communicate what was going on if they were experiencing bullying.
Joe was a part of ITV’s 'Britain Get Talking’ campaign and has appeared on TV, radio, Reality shows and adverts.
Joe Is an ambassador for Kidscape and Ditch the label and runs his own charity ’Stand Out Northants’ for looked after children and care leavers. This is the first charity of it’s kind ever in Europe. Joe is also going to be a director of Kidscape very soon and he is also a co-founder and partner for the ‘Music in every school’ organisation in the United States.
