Fundraising at school

Why fundraise at school?

Young people are at the heart of what we do, and we want to make sure that everyone is talking about mental health.

There is a lot of evidence proving that students that engage in activities promoting their wellbeing, such as fundraising and social activities, help them to overcome challenges, build confidence and learn skills.

Fundraising can be fun, educational and rewarding! We want everyone to get involved - teachers, parents and students - so that much needed awareness and funds are raised, and we can continue to lead the movement to make sure every young person gets the mental health support they need, when they need it, no matter what.

Thank you for supporting Hello Yellow

Four young people outdoors in yellow tshirts. They have their arms around each other and are all smiling. The camera is pointing up towards them to see the blue sunny sky and clouds in the background.

Thousands of you wore yellow for World Mental Health Day. Thank you for showing young people they're not alone with their mental health.

Right now, the world can be a tough place for children and young people to grow up in – and they're feeling the pressure. You've helped us raise vital funds to show them things can get better. 

Don't forget to send in the money you've raised. You can pay your fundraising in online or have a look at our information about other ways to make a donation.
