The Clive Smith Foundation

The Clive Smith Foundation (CSF) aims to offer understanding and support to people experiencing mental health problems, particularly in the housing sector.  

​Clive Smith a highly respected architect, was a brilliant husband, father, son, brother, colleague and friend who unexpectedly took his own life on 5th April 2021. This was a terrible shock to all who knew and loved him. Sadly, whilst evidence suggests women appear to think about suicide more often, men are four times more likely to take their own lives, a situation exasperated by the pandemic.  

​By creating a wider awareness of mental health issues affecting men and women in both personal and professional lives, The Clive Smith Foundation hopes to:

• Provide a better understanding of mental health issues that can lead to suicide 
• Encourage sympathetic, open debate on mental health issues facing men
• Build a friendly community of people determined to help combat stigmas around mental health
