Dear parents/carers,

Our school will be taking part in Hello Yellow on Friday 10th October (World Mental Health Day) to raise awareness and funds for Young Minds, the UK’s leading charity for young people’s mental health. No young person should feel alone with their mental health and that’s why Hello Yellow matters. 

 

We’re taking this opportunity as a school community to come together and show our students that we’re with them and they’re never alone with their mental health. We’ll be taking part by WEARING YELLOW clothing and/or accessories and showing KINDNESS by combining this with our Harvest collection for the Food Bank services. Our Pupil leaders are also taking the lead on this day by organising 'Positive Noticing Day' where everyone in our community is recognised and rewarded with a luggage tag message of kindness and positivity that they can wear/carry with pride and share them with you at home time.

 

Most importantly, we want to share the resources which Young Minds offer to support parents and carers if you ever need help and advice to support your children. 

This includes: 

• online resources (www.youngminds.org.uk/parent/) 

• a phone line, open 9.30am-4pm (0808 802 5544) 

• an online chat for parents and carers to speak to trained professionals if you’re concerned about your children’s mental health (www.youngminds.org.uk/parents-helpline/)

 

To summarise: 

 

On FRIDAY 10^th October:

1. Wear something yellow

2. Bring in items for the foodbank collection 

3. Donate £1 on the gate if you can

4. Remember to BE KIND today and always 

 

Thank you for your continued support for our community
