Tash and Kieran Skydive

As a lot of people will know, I was put in a hospital for nearly 2 years for my mental health when I was 15.

The reason I have chosen this charity is because nothing is changing for young people with mental health issues and suicide rates are rapidly increasing, this needs to stop.

Mental health awareness is something that I will always advocate for, as someone who has struggled so badly. You should not be ashamed if you are struggling mentally, there should be more resources available for young people to make reaching out easier when they are struggling.

Young people are having to wait and wait to speak to a professional and in a lot of cases will get turned away. No matter how you’re struggling, you deserved to be heard and helped to get better, and that is what young minds aims to do
