We aim to raise funds to deliver our Kindness in School Programme in primary and secondary schools. These workshops focus on developing high emotional intelligence and a strong sense of personal well-being in children and young people by encouraging them to think of the impact kind thoughts and actions have on themselves and others. Through creative game-playing, watching and discussing socially impactful films and engaging in thought provoking questions, children are offered an emotional and creative space to express their inner feelings.

Mental Health Crisis

Living in poverty, deprivation or with abusive carers with no positive role model has a significant impact on children and young peoples emotional wellbeing, and hopefulness for the future. 2018 statistics show that 1 in 3 children faces anxiety and depression. Consequently, this can lead many down a life of knife crime, gang culture, drug addiction, and for some, an untimely death.

If the UK was already facing a mental health crisis pre Covid-19, it is now sitting on a ticking time bomb! Within the disadvantaged low income households this is even graver. Limited private space, in often overcrowded housing, reduced access to normal support structures and lack of structure, are all contributing to anxiety, low self-esteem and poorer wellbeing.
