In this episode, we sit down with Gary Hayes, a former British Transport Police Officer, to hear his honest and moving story of living through trauma and finding a way forward. Gary talks about his time on the front line, including the aftermath of the 7/7 bombings, and how those experiences led him to set up PTSD 999, a charity supporting emergency service personnel living with PTSD.

This conversation is about resilience, community, and why looking after our mental health matters more than ever. It’s one you won’t want to miss and stay tuned until the end of the episode, where Gary shares a powerful poem that captures his journey.
