#HelloYellow is back!
And it's never been more important.
Last year #HelloYellow was a record-breaker - it was our brightest year yet! But this year a different, more concerning record has been broken. According to the latest NHS figures, 420,000 young people are now being treated for mental health problems every month. That's more young people than ever before seeking support - and most aren’t getting the help they need.
This needs to change. With your support, it can.
This World Mental Health Day, thousands across the country are coming together to say #HelloYellow. Join us on 10 October to show young people that how they feel matters, and help us create a future where all young people get the mental health support they need, when they need it, no matter what.
To take part, simply wear yellow, donate what you can to YoungMinds, and post a photo on social media.

Every school will be sent their free fundraising pack from 26 September onwards. Please ensure you have signed up and requested a postal pack by 19 September in order to receive your resources. If your school signs up after this date, you will have access to the pack and resources digitally.

Thank you so much for thinking of inviting us to take part in #HelloYellow 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.
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 #HelloYellow 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.
