4 Young Merchants, 2 Charities, 1 Small Obstacle.
Come together to lend your support to our trek up Kilimanjaro in support of Beyond and The Maddie Rose Campaign.
This page is for supporting our trek by donating to Beyond, chosen as a key charity by our group for the excellent work they do supporting youth mental health.
Three-quarters of all mental health issues begin in adolescence and yet 75% of young people with mental health issues are not currently receiving any treatment. The pandemic has exacerbated this crisis. Beyond aim to #BrakeTheSystem and provide immediate mental health support into schools and colleges who need it the most.
By directly providing grants to those most in need they can help the battle against horrifying stats like these:
-Over 200 schoolchildren take their own lives each year-Samaritans
-Suicide is the biggest killer of young people aged 35 and under in the UK-Papryus
-Referrals to CAMHS rose by 134% during the pandemic. This is the highest increase on record-Royal College of Psychiatrists
-75% of children and young people who experience a mental health problem aren't getting the help they need-Mental Health Foundation
