Find practical help while you wait, understand screening and connect with our charity. Created in loving memory of Matthew Lock.
In loving memory of our son, Matthew
Matthew Lock

Matthew was more than a wonderful, kind son; he was a shining light in his community. Matthew’s passion, dedication, and boundless energy made him a true influencer and a much-loved TV personality as well. His unwavering commitment to making his local community a better place continues to inspire.
Losing our only son, Matthew, so suddenly is still unimaginable to us now. The pain we carry every day will never go away. We miss him every second of every day and night. Now, with hindsight, we only wish we had understood and had the knowledge we have now about ADHD and its comorbidities. Then, perhaps Matthew would still be here. As Matthew’s Mum and Dad, we now need to do everything in our power to prevent this from happening to others. We have to raise awareness of the impact that ADHD can have if left untreated and misunderstood.
In honour of Matthew, we are dedicated to building a charity that focuses on education and raising awareness about ADHD. We are also committed to highlighting the links between ADHD, addiction, and suicide when the condition is not correctly understood or managed.
Our mission
We help individuals and families understand ADHD, find practical support and explore appropriate screening. Our information and Waiting Well guides are available without booking a screening. We also campaign for earlier recognition and timely, effective care, carrying forward Matthew’s legacy of caring for others.
Matthew’s Law: care before crisis. Our campaign calls for a clearer route from first concerns to assessment, treatment and continuing care. Read the proposal and ways to support it.
