About

850,000 Children have mental health problems. 1 in 5 young adults show signs of an eating disorder. 1 in 12 deliberately halm themsleves, 25,000 of them are hospitalised each year because of this. Almost 80,000 children and young people suffer from severe depression. Sucks right? YoungMinds is the UK's leading campaigning charity committed to improving the emotional wellbeing of mental health of children and young people. YoungMinds give young people a voice, help them to develop emotional resilience, provide practical advice and support them in raising awareness about the vita importance of good mental health and campaigning for better services. There is still a huge stigma around mental health which means many children and young people are not getting the support they need. Both Ellaouise and I have been unlucky enough to experience certain mental illnesses first hand (would rathe not go into detail about it), and have had family members/friends go through it all too. Needless to say, It's had a massive impact on our lives. When suffering with a mental illness support and guidance is vital to getting on the road to recovery, hopefully this will help spread the word for YoungMinds and all that they do, making it easier for people to reach out and ask for help. By sponsoring us, your money will help to ensure YoungMinds can continue all the amazing work they do. To raise money and awareness for this charity me and ma pal Ellaouise will be doing an accelerated free fall skydive and would really appreciate it if you could sponsor us.
