Children in the UK are suffering from low mental health. Covid has made this crisis worse.
There is a call to action from the Government for schools to adopt a whole-school approach which has a stronger focus on mental health promotion and the prevention of mental health problems, alongside early interventions for children who have existing or emerging mental health problems to prevent these problems from escalating and the need for specialist support. Teachers understand the need to make mental wellbeing a priority, but they are already overwhelmed and overworked.
Our unique, interconnected provision based on our 5 Keys to Happiness is designed specifically to improve mental wellbeing, develop essential life skills and increase engagement among children and to de-stress busy teachers by making it easier for them to make a difference. We offer:
-
Universal support for all children to promote mental wellbeing and prevent mental health problems - through our online Activity Library of 200+ activities, Wellbeing Programme with 2 years of assemblies and lessons that cover Relationships Education and Health Education statutory objectives, and INSIDE OUT Award which enables schools to implement a culture where the happiness of children is at the heart of school life.
-
Targeted interventions exclusively for vulnerable and underperforming children who are at risk of not reaching their full potential - through our offsite Magical Days Out at Checkendon Equestrian Centre in the Oxfordshire Chilterns, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with 55 horses and 70 acres of privately owned woodlands. Through a blend of experiential activities around horses, nature and mindfulness, children get the opportunity to:
-
Ride and care for a horse
-
Explore and discover the natural world
-
Gain an appreciation for the natural environment
-
Create nature art
-
Practice mindful breathing and sensing
Children revisit core learning back at school in a developmentally appropriate way through our Activity Library and Wellbeing Programme.
Our 5 Keys to Happiness evidence-based framework Look Inside, Move Outside, Share More, Be Curious, Be Kind – is relevant and engaging for children to learn and simple for teachers to teach back at school. It is based on the New Economic Foundation’s ‘5 Ways to Wellbeing’, scientifically proven to improve wellbeing.
The organisation’s Trustees have complied with their duty to have due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit in exercising their duties or powers.
