In 2011 he was awarded an OBE for his continued contribution in mental healthcare.

We are a very small charity in desperate need of support. We are committed to funding further research into BDD and its treatment whilst also raising awareness and finding more ways to help sufferers and their families. None of our staff take a salary. All money raised goes directly to fighting BDD.
