Bullying is still sadly a big issue for many young people. There is also a rise in the number of young people struggling with mental health issues. Linked to this is a rise in the number of young people living virtual lives on social media, which is also linked to depression and anxiety.

The School of Kindness empowers children by helping them realise that the little choices they make every day have the power to change their own lives and the lives of those around them. We run Kindness Workshops in primary schools, provide funding, produce resources for teachers, as well as opportunities for schools to help people - all aimed at encouraging a culture of kindness in our schools. Kindness is scientifically proven to improve our mental health and physical health.
