LABC Charity of the Year 2023 YoungMinds
YoungMinds is a charity that focuses on and supports mental health of children and young people. LABC is supporting it for a second year following it being chosen by LABC’s last President, Heather Jones as her charity in 2022.
YoungMinds is the UK’s leading charity fighting for children and young people's mental health. Their campaign 'you matter' launched in 2020 with the purpose of stopping young people from reaching a crisis point with their mental health. More young people than ever before need mental health support and accessing it quickly, makes a critical difference. When young people need help and can’t get it, it feels like they’re being told they don’t matter.
YoungMinds wants to see a world where no young person feels alone with their mental health and all young people get the mental health support they need, when they need it, no matter what.
