So excited to announce that we have received a 3 year grant from UK Youth through their Thriving Minds fund!
This will have a huge impact on the services we can offer to our local community, enabling us to support an additional 30-40 children and young people each year through our Inhale/Exhale therapy project.
Thriving Minds is an ambitious £11m fund to improve mental health support and provision for young people through youth work funded by the Julia and Hans Rausing Trust and The Westminster Foundation.
Young people are already feeling the effects of the cost-of-living crisis; stress levels are rising at home and often the only person they feel safe sharing their concerns with is their youth worker.
UK Youth know with the right support, youth workers can spot the signs that a young person is experiencing difficulties and can support them to open up, talk through what they are going through and seek help if they need it.
Support for young people in their community is needed now more than ever. Thriving Minds forms part of UK Youth’s commitment to channel at least £30 million into youth work by 2025.
Thank you SO much UK Youth 💛
