I'm raising £5000 to Support Shine Bright to provide free, long-term mental health support for children & young people across Leeds.

Our young people are struggling—and the help they need is disappearing.
Shine Bright (NS) CIC was created because too many young people (0–25) and families in Leeds are being left behind when it comes to mental health support. Cuts across the city mean fewer services, longer waits, and less hope.
We offer something different—something essential!
Shine Bright provides free, long-term, flexible support that adapts to the needs of each young person. Through 1:1 sessions, group wellbeing programmes, and ongoing peer support, we help them get well, be well, and stay well—for life.
Our 12-week WRAP (Wellness Recovery Action Planning) programmes empower young people and families to create their own wellness and crisis plans, connect with peer support for as long as they need, and even train as peer facilitators to support others.
This isn’t short-term, one-size-fits-all care. It’s deep, person-centred, community-rooted support, shaped by our communities —and it works.
But we need your help to keep going.
Every penny you give goes directly to delivery—no fluff, no waste—just more safe spaces, more support, more hope.
Help us reach more young people. Help us fill the gap. Help us shine brighter. 💛
Thank you so much for your support!
"My daughter has benefited one hundred-fold in terms of social confidence and ways to manage her levels anxiety. We are hugely grateful and indebted to the wonderful WRAP leaders who have provided this invaluable service without which we would be continuing to struggle. We now have hope for the future not just for my daughter but for us as a whole family.” Parent
