We are a group of young people, currently taking part in NCS, who are invested in making a difference in our community. We are starting a project to raise awareness of the issues surrounding and facing those who suffer from mental ill health, as well as their families. This includes the difficulties people face in finding support, labelling and the impact it can have on people when growing up and in later life.

We are making a short documentary where we will be filming and interviewing people who have experienced problems with mental health and also people who have been witness to young people who have experienced difficulties to give their stories and tips to help others. We are then passing this onto a charity and hopefully various schools to use in PSHE lessons in order to promote our cause. We are also holding an awareness event where we will promote our cause and the charity chosen. This means we will need funds for the materials we will need for our awareness event so it can run effectively and professionally and also to fund the making of our documentary which will include filming venue hiring.

Any donations would be helpful and extremely appreciated!
