Our impact
YoungMinds
YoungMinds is a UK charity dedicated to improving the mental health of children and young people, and to supporting the adults around them.
What it does
YoungMinds provides information, practical content and support to help young people look after their own mental health, and runs a free, confidential helpline offering advice and guidance to parents and carers. Alongside this, YoungMinds works to influence change at a national level by campaigning for better mental health services, tackling stigma, and amplifying the voices of young people and families in policy making.
What we fund
Our funding is supporting YoungMinds to scale the reach of its parents and carers helpline. We have also supported the Centre for Young Lives, alongside partners including the Centre for Mental Health, the Coalition for Children and Young People’s Mental Health, and YoungMinds, to deliver the Future Minds campaign – calling for greater policy prioritisation of youth mental health and setting out evidence informed solutions for system reform.
Before YoungMinds I couldn’t even get my local bus into town. YoungMinds has given me confidence and independence. I am certainly no longer ashamed of my mental health problems. I no longer feel alone, and have met so many young people who are now lifelong friends.
