We’re really excited to share that we’ve been shortlisted for ‘The Children's Achievement Award’ at the 2024 Children and Young People Now Awards! 🏆🎉

The ceremony is happening on 28th November in Hammersmith, London, and we’re on a mission to get Jade and Joel to attend!

But we need a little help from our incredible community to make it happen.

Why Jade Deserves This:

Our amazing co-founder Jade has ADHD and from the age of 9 struggled at school and with her mental health. Between the ages of 11 and 13 she struggled with but overcame severe anxiety, depression, self-harm and an eating disorder. Through her 'Reach for the Stars' assemblies, she’s been inspiring other young people with her story to build mental health resilience, reach out for help if they need it, keep pushing forward and chase their dreams—just like she did.

Here is a short documentary about Jade's story:

Jade’s assemblies have already caught the eye of ITV News, the BBC, and even the United Nations, but now it’s time for her to shine at these awards!
