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:
1. **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.
2. **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.

## Section D Achievements and performance
Recruited five new Trustees to our Board to help steer our charity towards **Summary of the main** greater impact and innovation (terms to commence in January 2025). **achievements of the charity** Surpassed our recruitment goals and brought together an exceptional **during the year** group of individuals with expertise in fundraising, strategy development, digital transformation, change management, sector knowledge, and equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI). Initiated the development of a new 2025-2029 strategy, building on ten years of transformative work and setting out our bold ambition to ‘step up the magic’ - becoming more relevant and relatable to children than ever before. Launched a new student internship pilot to elevate young voices and give children an active role in shaping and designing our services. Created new ‘5 Keys to Happiness’ resources - boosting children’s wellbeing with the help of our tech-savvy student intern. Delivered targeted interventions for primary school children in Berkshire and Oxfordshire at Checkendon Equestrian Centre, supporting vulnerable and underperforming children at risk of not reaching their full potential. Established a new partnership with a primary school in Reading. Enrolled one of our existing partner schools to work towards the Inside Out Award and build a whole-school culture of wellbeing excellence. Created a new digital Trustee Hub - a centralised, password-protected space on the Inside Out website that provides streamlined access to essential resources and information. Designed to equip Trustees to lead with purpose and passion, it serves as a go-to destination that evolves alongside both the Board and the charity. The Inside Out for Children programme continued to have an inspirational and lasting effect on children. Benefits linked to the ‘5 Keys to Happiness’ have included: Key 1 / Look Inside - Improved self-esteem, resilience, emotional language needs; decreased anxiety. Learned to self-calm, focus and relate to emotions through mindfulness techniques – Key 2 / Move Outside Learned about local species, habitats and wildlife

Section D Achievements and performance
through nature exploration; experienced non-competitive outdoor play
Key 3 / Share More - Improved social interactions, teamwork, communication and relationship building
Key 4 / Be Curious - Opened minds to exciting and wide experiences.
Key 5 / Be Kind – Improved positivity. Learned responsibility, consideration, kindness and respect
Here is some feedback gathered from our impact and evaluation process with teachers and children from our partner schools:
“I'd say the biggest impact I've seen over the year is that the children are more open to discussing and sharing their feelings and have developed a much better understanding of how to manage / express their emotions. They seem to be more supportive of each other and will try to help other children who appear to be struggling with their emotions.” (Headteacher)
“Once again our Magical Day Out provided the perfect canvas for personal journeys. All the children and staff had an amazing time that they will remember for always.”(Headteacher)
“My Magical Day Out helped me: express my weather inside, feel good about myself, feel part of a team, explore the outdoors, be brave, use my imagination, try new things, be kinder, appreciate the wonder of nature, and do something I’ve never done before.” (Children)
“At the end of my Magical Day Out, my weather inside was sunny because I felt really proud of myself for facing my fears.” (Child)
“My favourite Key to Happiness is Be Curious because it helps you to unlock your imagination.” (Child) “My favourite Key to Happiness is Move Outside because I like doing exercise. It makes me feel happy.” (Child)
