Tuppeny Barn - Children's Wellbeing Programmes
Tuppenny Barn is an organic smallholding and charity passionate about delivering educational opportunities for children, young people and the wider community in our outdoor classroom. Working with horticulture we help foster physical health and mental wellbeing through our education and green therapy programmes.
Innovative Urban Forest School delivered by The Garden Classroom
We are very grateful to the Pixel Fund for supporting our Urban Forest School programme for the second time. Over the past two years, we’ve been able to extend outreach of our UFS programme to include schools who would not normally engage with us by being able to offer fully funded taster programmes.
The Shine Project
The goal of The Shine Project is to support young people in developing and maintaining good physical and mental health, providing a firm foundation with which to achieve a successful and happy future. We do this through the delivery of our early intervention physical and mental wellbeing courses in small groups of up to 12 young people aged 11-14.
The Green Team
At the Green Team we are passionate about young people thriving through nature – caring for the environment, others and self. We have been successfully running outdoor programmes in Edinburgh, since 1995. Thrive is the Green Team’s mental health and wellbeing programme. The programme runs projects throughout the year.
SELFA
SELFA supports children and families who are experiencing vulnerabilities to build resilience, thrive and achieve, with an overall aim of improving mental wellbeing.
Reasons for referral to the Charity are varied and complex. Many of the children and young people have autism, ADHD, learning disabilities, attachment disorder, mental and physical health issues.

Additional Funding for Young People
Kool Carers South East
It is with heartfelt thanks, that we would like to thank The Pixel Fund, for their very kind and generous grant of £5,000, towards our core costs. This is repeat funding from The Pixel Fund and as charity, we are extremely appreciative that they continue to value and support our work with young carers and their families.
Blue Smile: supporting children’s mental health in Cambridgeshire
18% of children in England are struggling with their mental health, according to 2022 NHS Digital data – that’s around 5 children in every school class. A grant from The Pixel Fund is helping Blue Smile deliver 1-1 arts-based therapy for children in Cambridgeshire primary schools, providing prompt, specialist help to those who need it most.
Platform for Life- helping children and young people improve school attendance
We are a Chester based charity established in 2017, that offers free, accessible, community based mental health and wellbeing services such as counselling, play and art therapy to adults, young people and children living in relative poverty in three communities in Chester that fall within the bottom 10% of the Index of Multiple Deprivation.
Meningitis Now
At Meningitis Now, our vision is a future where no-one in the UK loses their life to meningitis and everyone affected gets the support they need to rebuild their lives.
Fighting meningitis has been our driving force for over 35 years; but our work is far from over. 22 people every day are still affected by this terrible and devastating disease. They will continue to need our aftercare and support, both now and in the future; and until meningitis is eliminated from the UK, it's vital that we continue to raise awareness and fight back against the disease.
Cerebral Palsy Plus
Cerebral Palsy Plus is delighted to receive a generous donation of £8000 from The Pixel Fund. This will help us to provide a range of activities for children and young people with Cerebral Palsy in Bristol and surrounding areas. The activities will help to improve the wellbeing of children who are living with a complex disability, helping them to have fun and experience new things in a safe and supported environment.
Breakthrough
Green School at the Therapy Garden
Our Green School programme offers interventional educational opportunities for young people living with mental health challenges. We offer the chance to gain a City & Guilds vocational qualification ‘Skills for Working Life: Horticulture’ and we are also registered to use AQA's Unit Achievement Scheme's validated units enabling us to acknowledge and celebrate individual achievement.
