LABC Charity of the Year 2022 YoungMinds
LABC President Heather Jones has chosen YoungMinds as her charity for 2022.
YoungMinds is a charity that focuses on and supports mental health of children and young people.
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 to stop young people from reaching a crisis point with their mental health. More young people than ever before need support for their mental health and accessing that support quickly, can make a critical difference to those young people. When they need help and can’t get it, it feels like they’re being told they don’t matter.
No young person should feel alone!
Young people are vital for our future and I aspire during my year as president to enthuse them to become future building control professionals!Heather Jones
