The Isle of Wight Youth Trust is this week taking part in the BigGive’s Kind2Mind Fundraising Appeal.
The Trust is the largest independent charity dedicated to supporting the mental health and wellbeing of children and young people on the Island.
This fundraising campaign will see every donation received, up to a total of £5,000 matched, doubling the impact of each £1 given.
With this ambitious campaign, the Youth Trust aims to raise vital funds to enhance their much-needed services, ensuring that no young person on the island feels alone or unsupported in their mental health journey.
Over the next week the Youth Trust aims to raise £5,000, which will be matched by the BigGive giving them £10,000 of vital funding.
These funds will enable the Trust to provide each school on the Island with a Wellbeing Toolkit.
The toolkit includes all the resources needed for the school to run a six-session wellbeing programme with their students, equipping them with the skills to manage their own wellbeing as well as becoming student wellbeing champions within their schools.
Cath Armstrong, Youth and Community Development Co-ordinator at the Isle of Wight Youth Trust, said:
"We believe every child and young person deserves the chance to lead a healthy, fulfilling life, regardless of their background or circumstances.
"By investing in their mental health and well-being, we are investing in a brighter future for our community.
"Together, we can create a supportive environment where young people can flourish and thrive."
Every donation, no matter the size, will make a tangible impact on the lives of Island children and young people in need.
To kickstart the fundraising appeal, the Isle of Wight Youth Trust has already secured support from a number of Island schools, individuals and organisations.
Their support demonstrates the collective commitment to addressing the mental health crisis faced by Island children and young people, ensuring a brighter future for generations to come.
The Big Give Kind2Mind fundraising appeal runs until midday on Monday (May 22).
