Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

We are a group of young people participating in the National Citizen Service with Catch 22.   

We are currently developing a social action project and the charity in which we are raising money for is YoungMinds. YoungMinds is the UK's leading charity commited to improving the emotional wellbeing and mental health of children and young people. 1 in 10 children and young people aged 5 to 16 suffer from a diagnosable mental health disorder. That is around 3 children in every classroom. Furthermore, more than half of adults with mental health problems were diagnosed in childhood, less than half were treated appropriately at the time. YoungMinds main aims and goals are to lessen the figures to ensure that children and young people have a better quality of life.

As young people ourselves we understand how mental health can be affected while growing up and understand the importance in which help can do. This is why we have chosen to raise money for this charity. We want to help make a difference, no matter how small, as even a smile can turn someone's day around. 

So please, even if you just take the time to educate yourself by asking someone who has been through it, your contributions matter. Help us achieve our goal and make a difference. 

Thank you for reading.
