Help Krispies Raise a whopping £25,000 for this amazing Charity!
We are celebrating our 25th Birthday by giving ourselves the huge target of raising £25,000 for Devon charity HeadsUP who offer a vital early intervention service which helps young people with their mental health free of charge.
The £25,000 will go directly to help pay for an additional counsellor so HeadsUp are able to ensure more of all our sessions can go ahead to help more deserving young people.
What HeadsUP Offer
HeadsUP offer FREE sessions to get children and young people confident in talking about mental health, empower and equip them to look after their mental health and educate on the positive relationship between mental and physical health.
Our current projects include:
Delivering prevention assemblies, class and small group sessions on all topics around mental health including: what mental health is, how to look after our mental health, self confidence, building resilience, dealing with anxiety, low mood and anger.
Delivering joint sessions with our partner agency, the LED Community Team. These sessions are based around looking after our mental health and the positive relationship between mental and physical health.
Creating Mental Health Ambassadors These workshop train young people to be champions for mental health and lead wellbeing initiatives in their school communities. By empowering young people with skills and knowledge to support their own and their peers’ wellbeing, we aim to prevent early mental health problems and create positive experiences of talking about mental health.
Year 6 Transition Sessions We work closely with the local secondary schools around Year 6 transition and deliver class session around dealing with worries about moving to Year 7, as well as looking at the amazing opportunities Year 7 brings.
Specialist One to One Sessions: Sessions for young people who are struggling with their mental health. These sessions will equip and empower young people with techniques to help themselves when they are finding life difficult. We currently have a 6 month waiting list for 1-1 sessions in the Exmouth, Woodbury, Budleigh area.
Please Help Krispies to help empower and equip young people to look after their mental health and build a brighter future.
We believe that HeadsUp provide a vital service but don’t take our word for it!
“I have seen such a difference in our daughter since you started working with her. Her confidence has increased and anxiety has decreased. She seems so much happier with life. Thank you so much.”
”Thank you for all your help with our son. We are so lucky to have this service free of charge in our area. We are very grateful.”
“There is such a huge need for mental health support for young people and the work that HeadsUP do is invaluable. They have been especially supportive of our Year 6 children and their families, helping them manage the big step up to secondary school. As a result, our Year 6 children describe feeling confident about their secondary education. Children in our community have benefited from 1:1 HeadsUP sessions too. These are vital for some children who need urgent, specific help so that they can thrive in school and at home.”
