Discover Our Mission and Values

JustTalk was founded by Jack Ashall in July 2025, with a deep desire to make a difference.

Jack grew up in Chorley, a town like many others—close-knit, hardworking, and full of stories. But behind the familiar smiles and everyday conversations, there was pain too often left unspoken. Over the years, Jack lost twelve friends—to suicide, drugs, and the silent weight of mental health struggles.

These weren’t just statistics. They were real people. Real lives. Real losses.

“I just felt there had to be more,” Jack says. “More support. More ways to reach out. More ways to feel heard before it’s too late.”

That’s how JustTalk began—not as a big campaign or a polished idea, but as a simple belief: people need people. When you're hurting, confused, or feeling alone, having someone to talk to—a peer, a friend, a stranger who listens—can change everything.

JustTalk was created to be that space. A peer-to-peer support network where no one has to suffer in silence. A place where anyone can talk and be heard without fear or judgment. Where You Matter isn’t just a motto—it’s the reason we exist.

This is only the beginning. JustTalk is growing, one honest conversation at a time. And we’re here for you—because everyone deserves someone to talk to before the silence becomes too loud.
