Schools fundraising

Together, we can build a brighter tomorrow with people with mental health problems.

By getting involved, your school can help support children, young people, and families in your local community to feel confident in managing their mental health and optimistic for the future.

Support Heads On

Whether it’s a non-uniform day, a sponsored walk, or a bake sale every penny your school raises will help fund innovative projects that support recovery; from DJ workshops to nature trails, oral history projects to running clubs, because we all feel better when we get involved in things that make our hearts sing.

Why get involved?

- Support young people experiencing mental health challenges
- Inspire students to be active members of their community
- Work together as a school community

How can we support you?

- We will provide a schools fundraising pack
- Every year, whether you are involved in fundraising for us or not we can offer resource packs for Children's Mental Heath week, developed in partnership with clinicians from our CAMHS teams
- We would love to come and talk to children and young people in assemblies about our work. If you have a specific topic you would like support with talking about, let us know.

Fundraising for Heads On

It doesn't matter how much you raise for Heads On, or how you chose to do it, what matters is that you want to make a difference

What we do

People with severe mental illness and/or learning disabilities are dying 15-20 years before the rest of the population.
We are working to change this.
