As the sun shines brighter and the summer approaches, The Strings Club is preparing to make a positive impact on children this July and August.

In an exciting partnership with Young Minds, a leading charity focused on children and adolescent mental health, The Strings Club has pledged to donate £1 for every booking they receive this summer.

Founder Amy states "This collaboration brings together two things I'm deeply passionate about:  supporting the mental wellbeing of children and encouraging a love for music. We hope our donation will directly benefit the mental wellbeing of children and support the expansion of mental health services across the country."

Why Young Minds?

Young Minds is a charity that has been at the forefront of promoting mental health awareness and providing support to children and young people in the UK for over 25 years. They work tirelessly to ensure that all young minds receive the care and attention they deserve, particularly during challenging times.

Did You Know?*

• One in six children aged five to 16 were identified as having a probable mental health problem in July 2021, a huge increase from one in nine in 2017. That’s five children in every classroom (i).
• The number of A&E attendances by young people aged 18 or under with a recorded diagnosis of a psychiatric condition more than tripled between 2010 and 2018-19 (ii).
• 83% of young people with mental health needs agreed that the coronavirus pandemic had made their mental health worse (iii).

Children and Young People Need More Support *

• Just over one in three children and young people with a diagnosable mental health condition get access to NHS care and treatment (ix).
• In a Young Minds survey, three-quarters (76%) of parents said that their child's mental health had deteriorated while waiting for support from Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) (x).

Contribute to a Vital Cause this Summer

The Strings Club will donate £1 to Young Minds for every booking they receive this Summer. This initiative encourages parents and guardians to enrol their children in The Strings Club's programs, knowing that they are contributing to a vital cause while their children experience top quality childcare they can trust.

The Impact of Donations

The funds raised through this partnership will enable Young Minds to continue their crucial work in supporting children and young people's mental health. From providing counselling services to developing resources and training for professionals, Young Minds offers comprehensive support to those who need it most.

Lets Prioritise Mental Health

By donating £1 for every booking they receive this summer, The Strings Club is not only making a difference in the lives of individual children but also fostering a collective effort to prioritise mental health support for young minds across the UK.
