Danske Bank has appointed Action Mental Health (AMH) as its charity partner at the start of 2017. Through the partnership Danske Bank not only wants to raise funds for Action Mental Health but also increase awareness of mental health in Northern Ireland. Mental health is a huge issue in Northern Ireland with one in five people here affected by mental ill-health while one in 10 children aged 5-16 are diagnosed with a mental health disorder.  To this end, money raised through the partnership will help fund the charity’s health promotion work with children through the delivery of ‘Healthy Me’; a programme for 8-11 year olds that aims to positively promote mental health and social and emotional well-being in children.
