Welcome to my blog, my name is Paul ‘Oxo’ Oxborough and I’m one of the founders of the charity which was established in March 2020. This blog aims to tell day to day stories of my work with Mental Health Motorbike. I will document this via a series of virtual tours which allow you to be emersed into some of the locations I visit.
I will take you to some of our events, presentations, meetings and rideouts. Through creative use of 360 cameras you will be able to see photos, listen to videos, access audio and scroll around to find exciting things hidden in the virtual tours. Let me know if you like these by leaving a comment and tell us if you like us to feature an event we attend.
