Fund focus
Local services in England and South Wales. Ages and access vary by charity.
Growing up brings changes that can be difficult to face alone. This fund focuses on smaller charities doing the work themselves: listening, offering therapy and helping children and young adults find support in their everyday lives.
Get to know the work
Counselling and a sense of belonging for young people in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire, with specialist support and space to connect.
Counselling, a domestic-abuse pathway for ages 11-18 and the Outburst LGBTQIA+ group connect therapeutic help with wider youth support.
Free, confidential counselling rooted in South Wales, reaching young people through schools, community bases and support beyond the classroom.
Community and school counselling, including specialist education settings, with evening and weekend online options and support around significant loss.
Early emotional support and therapy in West Yorkshire, helping young people find a way through childhood, school and the move into adulthood.
BREW offers one-to-one early support, while school partnerships and the Transition Support Service provide different routes into help.
Talking, art and play therapies that give children and young adults different ways to express what they are going through.
Free community and education-based therapy for ages 5-25, with play therapy for younger children and support for parents.
A steady place to talk for young people in Bracknell Forest, with free counselling in the community and in schools.

Understand the shared pool
The amount you choose for charities joins this fund’s shared charitable pool.
Contributions come together for Young people's mental health, supporting the fund’s selected charities.
The pool supports the charities’ work within the fund’s purpose. Fund boards bring relevant expertise and experience to reviewing the portfolio and the evidence behind each choice.
How this helps charitiesThe amount designated for charities goes into the charitable pool. A small processing fee is added, with the total shown before you give.
Monthly giving builds an ongoing connection with a focused group of charities. The size of the pool depends on contributions, so it does not promise a fixed income.
