People: Improving people’s mental wellbeing
Help us support local young people in crisis through safe, free sessions with trained support workers, helping young people navigate issues like anxiety, bereavement, suicidal thoughts and depression.
About this cause
We exist to improve the emotional health and wellbeing of young people, enabling them to be emotionally healthy, confident and empowered. We offer free support to young people aged 10-25 who live, work or study in Bath and north east Somerset. Last year we worked with over 2,100 young people. We work across Bath, Midsomer Norton and Keynsham, and also via 19 schools, colleges and universities.

How this cause brings people in the community together
We will improve the mental health of hundreds of local young people by enhancing their resilience and aspirations, and contributing to preventing future mental health problems. Evidence proves our work makes a significant positive difference. In the year to Sept 2021, the average score for our young people against the nationally recognised 'Core 10' scale for mental distress reduced by a third.
