LMK (Let Me Know)
Relationship abuse is an urgent problem impacting millions of people in the UK every year.
Its prevalence continues to be on the rise. And young people barely out of full time education, between the ages of 16 to 19, are the most at risk of experiencing it; an early experience that can impact nearly every aspect of the rest of their lives.

Portadown Wellness Centre
Behind every statistic is a young life — a child who may be struggling with their mental health, feeling isolated, or facing challenges they can’t yet put into words. With this funding, we can offer more group therapeutic classes and fully subsidised counselling sessions — giving young people a safe place to talk, to be heard, and to heal.

Centre for ADHD and Autism Support
Neurodivergent young people are disadvantaged and stigmatised daily, with many diagnosed with anxiety or depression. A lack of understanding of their needs and busy, overwhelming sensory environments means many neurodivergent young people find school, including friendships, confusing and complicated.

My Brain: My Mental Health Project - encephalitis International
Encephalitis (inflammation of the brain) is a thief. Caused by either an infection or the immune system attacking the brain in error, as many as 4 in 10 people depending on the cause of encephalitis will sadly not survive the condition, even with treatment. Even in those families where the person survives, it robs them of the person they once knew often leaving people with life-changing problems.
