Another year together

We’re excited to announce that our partnership with Action for Children will now run until December 2020.

After a brilliant 2019, we’re planning plenty of new and exciting opportunities to get involved with the charity. We’re edging ever closer to our target of £2 million and we hope that this extension will take us well beyond this amazing milestone.

All the money raised through this partnership goes towards funding their flagship youth mental health initiative, The Blues Programme - an internationally acclaimed evidence based ‘blues busting’ course for teenagers.

Since the start of our partnership, an incredible 3,833 young people have taken part and benefitted from the course, which has provided them with the tools and techniques to support their mental health both now and in the future. None of this would be possible without the generous support of colleagues across the UK.

There are loads of different ways to get involved with our partnership! Here are just a few:

• Fundraising – why not organise a fundraiser with your team or get involved in a running or cycling event for Action for Children?
• Volunteering – if you have some spare time, Action for Children would love your support. They have a range of different volunteering opportunities from events, to painting and decorating services.
• Invite Action for Children to your WTLL or team meeting. Action for Children have already visited more than 120 sites to talk about our partnership. Why not invite them over to inspire colleagues about the difference they make to youth mental health?

If you would like to hear more about our work with Action for Children, or how to get more involved with the partnership, please email Vicky at RoyalMail@actionforchildren.org.uk.  

Thank you to everyone who has supported Action for Children since 2017 – here’s to a brilliant 2020!
