YoungMinds

Registered charity 1016968

YoungMinds is the national charity committed to improving the mental health of all children and young people.

Research shows that one in ten children and young people in Britain aged between five and fifteen are suffering from behavioural, emotional or hyperactivity disorders, and one in five are experiencing a range of less severe mental health problems which significantly affect their daily lives, (ONS 1999). These figures are much higher in cities and areas of deprivation. With so many children and young people having difficulty growing up in today’s complex society, a charity dedicated to highlighting their concerns has never been more necessary. YoungMinds makes sure their voices are heard by those who influence change and work to increase awareness of mental health issues.

Charity Fundraising Ltd is working with YoungMinds to achieve both project and core funding, focusing initially on the work of the charity’s Policy and Information Team. Our consultants are also supporting YoungMinds in developing a long term, sustainable fundraising strategy, to help secure the future of this much respected National Charity.
