Andy Gibson

Andrew Gibson is the founder and Head Gardener of Mindapples. He founded the campaign in 2008 in response to the lack of attention being given by social innovators and campaigners to public mental health. Mindapples has since gone on to reach tens of thousands of people all around the world with positive messages about the health of our minds. Prior to Mindapples, Andrew co-founded the influential social web start-up School of Everything in 2006, which won several awards for its innovative work connecting independent learners with teachers in their local areas. He has also worked with some of the biggest names in global business to help them get the best from their staff, including several of the world’s leading financial institutions, Bupa, News UK, L’Oréal, PricewaterhouseCoopers and the Wellcome Trust. He has advised the UK Government on public health promotion, supported many entrepreneurs to launch and grow their ventures, and speaks internationally about business innovation and social change.
