Come together in yellow.
10 October 2024
Every year, thousands of schools, companies and communities come together to make World Mental Health Day that little bit brighter by wearing something yellow and donating to YoungMinds.
Right now, the world is a really tough place for children and young people to grow up in. We want young people to know that they don’t have to go through this alone. Things can get better.
This World Mental Health Day, wear yellow with thousands of others across the UK and raise money to show young people that they’re not alone with their mental health.
Because we stand brighter, together.
Sign up for Hello Yellow 2024
Join thousands of people across the country wearing yellow to show young people they're not alone.

FAQs for Hello Yellow
We encourage everyone to try and take part on 10 October as this is also World Mental Health Day, however you’re welcome to pick another date around this time if this is more convenient for you.
We also encourage schools in Scotland to pick an alternative date in their school calendar that works best for them to take part in Hello Yellow outside of half term.
We encourage everyone to wear yellow on Hello Yellow day, however if this isn’t your thing you’re welcome to come up with your own ways to show your support for young people’s mental health and have lots of activities and fundraising ideas in our digital fundraising pack, which you can access once you’ve signed up.

Our social media team try to keep posts on our Facebook, Twitter and Instagram channels related to mental health tips and information. Due to the large scale of our Hello Yellow campaign, we are therefore unfortunately unable to promote fundraising events.

Thank you so much for thinking of inviting us to take part in Hello Yellow at your school. Unfortunately, we would not be able to accept your kind offer as we receive so many requests and simply do not have the resources or capacity to attend.
