10 October 2025
Join thousands of schools, workplaces and communities across the UK and wear yellow this World Mental Health Day to raise vital funds and show children and young people they’re not alone with their mental health.
Right now, the world is a tough place for children and young people to grow up in. We want young people to know they don’t have to go through it alone and things can get better.
Register your interest, and we'll be in touch soon with your free fundraising pack, including everything you need to make this World Mental Health Day that little bit brighter.
Because we stand brighter together.
Together, Hello Yellow supporters have raised an incredible £2,168,180 since 2016. Every pound raised helps us continue to work towards creating a world where no young person feels alone with their mental health.
£2 could help one young person reach YoungMinds online resources and information.
£30 could allow us to answer a call from a parent or carer to our Parents Helpline.
£219 could train one of our Parents Helpline Advisors to be able to provide information and support to parents and carers to help them support a young person in their life.
The quickest and easiest way to collect your Hello Yellow fundraising is by setting up a JustGiving page. Every donation made to your page will come to us automatically, so there’s nothing you need to do!
You can securely donate any funds raised online through our website. When asked ‘Is your donation to go towards Hello Yellow?’ please tick yes.
Please fill in this short form so we can send you our bank details and to make sure that when we receive your donation, we can confirm receipt of this and thank you! Please make sure to include your name on the transfer.

We encourage everyone to try and take part on 10 October as this is also World Mental Health Day, however you’re welcome to pick another date around this time if this is more convenient for you.
We also encourage schools in Scotland to pick an alternative date in their school calendar that works best for them to take part in Hello Yellow outside of half term.
We encourage everyone to wear yellow on Hello Yellow day, however if this isn’t your thing you’re welcome to come up with your own ways to show your support for young people’s mental health and have lots of activities and fundraising ideas in our digital fundraising pack, which you can access once you’ve signed up.
Once you’ve signed up, you’ll be sent a digital fundraising pack full of ideas and resources to support your fundraising. Check out our Hello Yellow resources from last year.
Unfortunately, due to the high volume of Hello Yellow supporters taking part in this event every year, we are unable to send out any additional resources or promotional materials. However, once you’ve signed up to Hello Yellow you will have access to our Hello Yellow resources and fundraising packs to help make your Hello Yellow day incredible!
Our social media team try to keep posts on our Facebook, Twitter and Instagram channels related to mental health tips and information. Due to the large scale of our Hello Yellow campaign, we are therefore unfortunately unable to promote fundraising events.
We would love for you to let everyone know about your fundraising though, so please do get posting about it on social media! Tag us @youngmindsuk and use the hashtag #HelloYellow.
Thank you so much for thinking of inviting us to take part in Hello Yellow at your school. Unfortunately, we would not be able to accept your kind offer as we receive so many requests and simply do not have the resources or capacity to attend.
However you're choosing to take part in Hello Yellow, we're here to support you every step of the way.
If you have any questions or need more information at any time, you can get in touch with at helloyellow@youngminds.org.uk.
The Hello Yellow team will be happy to help.
