Farrell’s son James has Angelman syndrome, a rare genetic condition that causes delayed development and affects movement, speech and balance. Farrell spoke about the struggle to find suitable residential care for people with intellectual disability after they turn 21. 

Richard Gadd and Jessica Gunning, stars of the Netflix drama Baby Reindeer, spoke about the importance of mental healthcare during their discussion at the Foundation. 

Gadd is an ambassador for We Are Survivors, a survivor-focused voluntary sector organization that aims to create and facilitate safe spaces for male (including trans and non-binary individuals) survivors of sexual abuse, rape and sexual exploitation. The UK charity asked Gadd to be an ambassador after the actor talked about his experience of sexual assault in his live show Monkey See Monkey Do.
