Moeze can’t quite believe he is a published author

Moeze Lalji, who uses the Trust’s services at the Brickfield Centre, Epsom, says: “It has still not hit me that I am the author of a book of poems!”

He has actually had two books published. The electronic version of Schizophrenia and Multiculturism, is now in two volumes on the Chipmunka website with the first book also available as a paperback. He gives all the proceeds to mental health charities.

Moeze was born in Uganda in 1958 and came to England as a refugee in 1972. He has been a paperboy, worked for a chain of chartered accountants then a bank. He had a post office business and worked for a
property company before he had a breakdown.

He says: “I suffer from schizophrenia and I come from a background of mental ill-health. I am married with one daughter and my wife is our strength. I belong to the Ismaili community and it is our faith in the Aga Khan I think that is keeping me alive and the support from the mental health team.
