#HelloYellow

Join thousands of schools, offices and communities on Friday 8 Oct by taking part in #HelloYellow and raising vital funds to support our work. Dig out your neon socks, custard scarf and banana hat – let’s show young people they’re not alone with their mental health! 

We all struggle with how we’re feeling sometimes and it’s normal to have ups and downs. This year might have felt a little more down than up.  

But it’s the little things that have got us through it – the morning walks, singing in the shower, the perfect cuppa, that Netflix show that got us all buzzing, the bestie who makes you LOL, the teacher who has your back. 

Saying #HelloYellow this World Mental Health Day is a little thing we can do to make a BIG difference to young people’s mental health.  

Because a little yellow goes a long way. 

Sign up to take part in #HelloYellow 2021 so you don’t miss out on any #HelloYellow tips, fundraising ideas and wellbeing resources in the lead up to the event. 

We know the mental health and wellbeing of your students is incredibly important to you. We also know that this year has been a stressful time and teachers are juggling a lot right now.  

That’s why we’re sending every teacher their very own fundraising pack for their class. Your pack will contain bite-size mental health and wellbeing activities, stickers and other resources to make the day as special as possible. 

You, your colleagues and your students have so much to be proud of. Come together and celebrate the little things we can do to look after ourselves and support each other's mental health. 

We know you and the young people in your lives have been going through a difficult time, and it can be hard to feel positive. But you’re not alone. Let’s join our friends, colleagues and loved ones in a show of solidarity. By taking part in #HelloYellow, your support means YoungMinds can help even more young people and their families at a time when it’s needed most. 

Anyone can get involved in #HelloYellow, no matter who or where you are! All you need to do is wear something yellow on 8 October, take a selfie and post on social media using #HelloYellow – don’t forget to tag us @YoungMindsUK – and donate what you can to YoungMinds. 

Spread the word, get your friends and families involved – and why not try throwing a #HelloYellow fundraiser too. Sign up for ideas on how to get your loved ones involved!   

Our #HelloYellow resources hub has heaps of downloadable resources to help you raise funds and have fun doing it, from photobooth props to wellbeing activities and posters for your school or office.

And check out our Pinterest page for more fun ideas.
