Technology Business Puts Mental Health Charity First

Calne-based Black Nova Designs, a well-known provider of web design, hosting, and IT, is using their birthday celebration to forefront mental health charity, Best Mates.

In a recent interview, Black Nova Designs’ founder, Kyle Holmes opened up about his business’ decision to forefront Best Mates, Swindon-based mental health charity, at their 10th birthday bash.

Best Mates is a mental health and community charity which supports people when they are in a crisis through practical support and by providing a ‘mate’ for them to talk to – in confidence.

In a recent interview between Black Nova Designs and Best Mates, Kyle Holmes emotionally shared the impact of mental health on men.

“Throughout the first twenty-three years of my life I didn’t have anyone to turn to. Someone who, when I was in trouble, would support me or just take me on a walk. That’s the great thing that Best Mates does; they provide that voice for people. A voice that just listens.”

“A lot of people don’t know where to turn to, I certainly didn’t.

If our birthday bash can give people a place to go and we can raise money for a charity that can literally save someone’s life, I couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate our birthday.”

Black Nova Designs’ birthday event will support Best Mates with a raffle and fundraising effort, and attendees are encouraged to donate as much as they can for the charity’s life-saving work.

Jeff Tucker, co-founder of Best Mates, said:

We want to hold people’s hands, and we want to make a difference. Through what Black Nova Designs are doing for us; we can focus on helping people in their dark times. We can’t thank them enough for using their birthday bash to platform Best Mates.

Black Nova Designs’ “10th Birthday Bash” is on Saturday 18th October at the National Self Build and Renovation Centre (NSBRC) in Swindon from 7pm to 11pm.

The event is ‘dress to impress’ themed and is an evening of celebration, networking, and entertainment while raising much needed funds and awareness of mental health support.
With tickets starting at £75 each, attendees are guaranteed an evening of celebration and joy all whilst saving lives with Best Mates.
