We've changed how we look. And we’re changing how we do things too
Growing up today is tough. Young people are facing a mental health crisis in the UK and it shouldn’t be on you to fix it. You’re struggling, not being listened to, and you’re tired.
We’ve always focused on hope. Working with you to share your stories, offering advice when you need it and challenging the Government to make the mental health system what you need it to be. And that will never stop.
But the world has changed, and we need to change too.
We heard you
Over the last year, we worked closely with young people to hear what you need from us.
You told us you want honesty, for us to speak up more on the issues you care about and offer mental health support that makes you feel seen and heard. All of you. That means doing more for Black, minoritised and marginalised young people. You want solutions beyond the one-size-fits-all approach to mental health.
And you want to know there’s hope for your future.
How we're changing
Focusing on you
This change is about centering your stories, your experiences, your joy and your voices.
Whether you’re putting your mental health first, organising in your local community or being there for your friends – you’re finding glimmers of hope and happiness in dark times. We want to use our platform to share these stories and make them impossible to ignore.
Your voices can change the world – and we won’t stop standing with you until it’s the world you deserve.
