Allenbourn Middle School will be joining thousands of schools across the UK and taking part in Hello Yellow in support of YoungMinds on Thursday 10th October (World Mental Health Day) when we'll be holding a non-school uniform day and asking everyone to wear something yellow.

There are days when all of us struggle with how we are feeling.  Things can get tough, and it can be difficult to know how to cope.  For so many young people, when this happens, they don't always get the help they need, when they need it.  They don't know where to turn, who to talk to, or even if anyone else feels the same.

No young person should feel alone with their mental health. But together, we can change this.

To take part, children can wear yellow to school, and we'd like to ask parents and carers to consider donating to help YoungMinds keep fighting for young people's mental health.

Our suggestion donation is £2 which can be donated on our JustGiving page here.  Because we stand brighter, together.  Finally, YoungMinds have resources for parents and carers to find help and advice, if you're ever concerned about a child or young person.  You can find this on their website www.youngminds.org.uk/parent.  If you have any questions, please let us know.
