PRESS RELEASE

Pest Minds CIC is pleased to announce the formation of its first Volunteer Committee and is inviting passionate individuals to help shape the future of mental health support within the pest management industry.

Since its launch, Pest Minds has been committed to raising awareness of mental health challenges, reducing stigma and encouraging open conversations across the sector. As the organisation continues to grow, a dedicated Volunteer Committee is being established to support its development, strengthen its reach and help deliver meaningful initiatives for those who need them most.

The Committee will play an important role in supporting the strategic direction of Pest Minds, assisting with awareness campaigns, fundraising activities, partnerships, events and community engagement.

Pest Minds is seeking individuals who are passionate about improving mental wellbeing and who can contribute their skills, experience, and enthusiasm to the organisation. Previous committee experience is not essential, and applications are welcomed from people with a variety of backgrounds.

An introductory online meeting will be held to bring together interested individuals, provide an overview of the Committee's purpose and responsibilities, and offer an opportunity for attendees to discuss how they may wish to contribute.

Speaking about the initiative, Pest Minds Founder Anna Mollins said:

Mental health affects every part of our industry, and meaningful change happens when people come together with a shared purpose. I am excited to bring together a Volunteer Committee that will help guide and support the future of Pest Minds, ensuring we continue to make a positive impact for those who need it most. Everyone in the pest management industry has skills that would be incredibly valuable in this committee, even if they don’t yet realise it.

Anna Mollins, Pest Minds Founder

If you are interested in becoming a member of the Pest Minds Volunteer Committee, or would simply like to learn more before making a commitment, please email [email protected] to register your interest and attend the introductory meeting.

Together, we can continue building a stronger, more supportive and mentally healthy pest management community.
