Mental health is a major concern for young people in the UK, so the Richmond upon Thames Voluntary Fund have chosen to support us alongside three other charities in 2021/22. This year, the Borough wants to prioritise mental health charities that are supporting children and young people, and we are delighted to have been selected to support young people through increased engagement with the natural world. The Borough recognises the great work we’re already doing to support young people and with this extra funding, we will be able to support more young people struggling with mental health issues at what is a particularly difficult time.
