Sign up to take part in #HelloYellow 2021 so you don’t miss out on any #HelloYellow tips, fundraising ideas and wellbeing resources in the lead up to the event.
Join thousands of schools, offices and communities on Friday 8 Oct by taking part in #HelloYellow and raising vital funds to support our work. Dig out your neon socks, custard scarf and banana hat - let's show young people they're not alone with their mental health!
We all struggle with how we're feeling sometimes and it's normal to have ups and downs. This year might have felt a little more down than up. But it's the little things that have got us through it - the morning walks, singing in the shower, the perfect cuppa, that Netflix show that got us all buzzing, the bestie who makes you LOL, the teacher who has your back.
Saying #HelloYellow this World Mental Health Day is a little thing we can do to make a BIG difference to young people's mental health.
Because a little yellow goes a long way.
FAQs for #HelloYellow
Schools will be sent their fundraising pack during the month of September. Please ensure you have signed up on our website and requested a postal pack by Saturday 4 September in order to receive your resources – these will be delivered towards the middle of the month.
Our fundraising packs are specifically designed for primary and secondary schools, so unfortunately we are not able to post packs to individuals or other groups. However, our #HelloYellow resources hub has plenty of free, downloadable materials to support your fundraising, from posters to bunting, so please do take a look.
Unfortunately, due to the high volume of #HelloYellow supporters taking part in this event every year, we are unable to send out any additional resources or promotional materials. However, our #HelloYellow resources hub has plenty of free, downloadable materials to support your fundraising, from posters to photobooth props, so please do take a look.
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. However, you can find powerpoint slides for a #HelloYellow assembly on our resources hub.
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.

That’s why we’re sending every teacher their very own fundraising pack for their class. Your pack will contain bite-size mental health and wellbeing activities, stickers and other resources to make the day as special as possible.
