Aramark UK’s Education & Health sector is proud to announce its new charity partnership with YoungMinds, a leading mental health charity dedicated to supporting children, young adults, and their support networks.

This partnership, commencing in September 2024, reflects Aramark UK’s commitment to making a positive impact in the communities they serve. According to the latest Mental Health of Children and Young People survey, 1 in 5 children and young people aged 8 to 25 years have a probable mental health condition. Aramark UK has committed its time and resources to support YoungMinds to help tackle this critical issue through a collaborative partnership.

Aramark will raise awareness and funds for YoungMinds, while also training and supporting its own teams to enhance mental health support for students and young lives on a national basis.

Fiona Martin, Managing Director of Education at Aramark UK, expressed her enthusiasm for the partnership: “We have spent a long time finding a partner that we believe is a perfect fit for our sector and could not be happier to be partnering with YoungMinds. Mental health is a cause that deeply resonates with our teams, who often witness first hand the challenges young people face. In partnership with YoungMinds, we aim to extend our support and make a difference together.”

Working together, Aramark UK and YoungMinds are committed to creating a brighter, healthier future for the next generation.
