Founder of Nip in the Bud

Daniel Nabarro sadly left us on the 16 April 2021. Without Daniel’s vision and determination, Nip in the Bud wouldn’t be what it is or where it is today.

The gap in mental health support for children led Daniel to come up with the concept of Nip in the Bud using short films to raise awareness among teaching staff, parents, carers and others working with primary school children and to highlight the positive benefit of early diagnosis of mental health issues.

Mental health had an immense impact on Daniel and Kitty’s lives as their daughter first displayed OCD symptoms at the age of eight but wasn’t diagnosed until her late teens precisely because there was a lack of information about children’s mental health conditions at that time.

Daniel was chair of OCD Action for six years and was instrumental in moving this forward from a small organisation to a well-established and recognised charity.

Daniel obtained his degree in Electrical Sciences at Cambridge and went on to do an MBA. He then worked in telecommunications research and volunteered at the Samaritans. After working at GEC and Motorola he set up Inter-City Paging in 1982 and in 1998 he set up the pioneering online lingerie company, Figleaves.com.
