Keeping riders safe
There's a growing charity in our community doing inspiring work for bikers across the country. Mental Health Motorbike (MHM) is a registered charity dedicated to building a network of fully qualified Mental Health First Aiders who can support those in need in times of trouble.
Their organisation is growing by the day, with 28 volunteering staff members, 150 qualified Mental Health First Aiders, 35 ambassadors and 18 online moderators. Continuing to reach out to new communities, this charity goes the extra mile!

This charity is going places...
MHM has six main targets they are working towards.
Have a Mental Health First Aider in every town & city in the UK
Create greater awareness of mental health and normalise the discussion
Reduce suicide amongst bikers
Run mental health awareness activities across the UK
Work in partnership with bike clubs, cafes, sponsors and shops across the country
Run an active programme of life changing mental health courses and activities
What is Mental Health First Aid?
Mental Health First Aid helps someone experiencing a mental health or substance use-related crisis. Often a MH First Aider will have expertise in supporting those with:
Depression, bipolar, anxiety disorders, trauma, psychosis, substance use disorders
Mental Health First Aiders can sometimes be the difference in saving lives or losing them. The work they do is incredibly important for people nationwide.
Where will you see them next?
Mental Health Motorbike is going to make an appearance at one of our summer events this year. If you would like to meet their team, discuss what they do or get involved in this charity, make sure you attend our events.

Laguna Motorcycles Limited (which include multiple trading names: Laguna Motorcycles, Laguna Performance Centre, Laguna Triumph, Maidstone Honda, Maidstone Harley-Davidson® and Kent Motorcycles) is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No. 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows Laguna Motorcycles Limited (which include multiple trading names: Laguna Motorcycles, Laguna Performance Centre, Laguna Triumph, Maidstone Honda, Maidstone Harley-Davidson® and Kent Motorcycles) to act as a credit broker, not a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders, and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.
We are a credit broker and not a lender. We can introduce you to a carefully selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. We act on behalf of the lender for this introduction and not as your agent. We are not impartial, and we are not an independent financial advisor.
Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next most suitable offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure a suitable finance agreement for you that enables you to achieve your financial objectives. If you purchase a vehicle, in the majority of cases, we will receive a commission from your lender for introducing you to them which is either a fixed fee, or a fixed percentage of the amount that you borrow. This may be linked to the vehicle model you purchase.
Different lenders pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement; however, you will be contributing towards the commission paid to us with the interest collected on your repayments. Before we propose you to a potential lender, we will inform you of the likely amount of commission we will receive and seek your consent to receive this commission. The exact amount of commission that we will receive will be confirmed prior to you signing your finance agreement.
All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18s or over. Guarantees may be required. Please see our complaints page for our complaints policy and regulatory complaints.
