We have set the goal to £300 incase we get any generous donations and can make more for 4YP. As part of our social action plan for NCS we are raising money for an Ipswich based charity; 4YP. 4YP support young people with mental health issues as well as their physical wellbeing. Alfie and Brad are rasing £50 each for 4YP so they can redecorate their centre.

Mental illnesses affect thousands of people in the UK, and their friends, families and society in general. Most people who experience mental health problems recover fully, or are able to live with and manage them, however due to the stigma around mental health many people do not get the support they need. This has major impact on their day to day lives, Health Watch Suffolk conducted a survey within Suffolk and found that 45% of students felt they had not been taught about mental health increasing to 60% by 18.

A main aim of ours is to increase the awareness of mental health and the support that is available for people who are in need. The target is £300 so we can potentially make more for 4YP. Any donations would be greatly appreciated!
