TeamDaniel was formed in June 2017 after family and friends came together to raise awareness of mental health issues in young people when Daniel Long, aged 15 took his own life as he couldn't see a way out of the stress he was under brought on by his GCSE exams.

TeamDaniel became a registered charity to raise awareness of the prevalence of mental health issues in children and young people and to raise money towards opening hubs bringing in counsellors and other support and to signpost children and young people to available services.
