💛Today is , an annual national campaign day that highlights the importance of young people’s mental health, led by the charity YoungMinds.
In celebration of Hello Yellow, we held a concert which filled The Under with students, parents, staff and friends, who all enjoyed an array of solo and ensemble performances to help raise money for this brilliant cause.
As well as some fantastic performances, it was inspiring to hear so many of the students' personal reflections on the importance of positive mental health.
As one performer, Rosie, reminded us: "Every person you meet is carrying something, and we never really know what someone else is going through. Sometimes we’re struggling, sometimes we’re healing, sometimes we’re just trying to get through the day. Most of the time, we’re carrying a little bit of everything... a reminder that life can be messy, painful and beautiful all at the same time, and that even in our darkest moments, we’re far more connected to each other than we realise. That’s also why organisations like YoungMinds are so important. They remind people that they don’t have to face those struggles alone, and that there is always hope and support to be found."
A thoroughly enjoyable and inspiring evening, and, as we mark , a reminder of the vital importance of saying 'hello', starting conversations, and being there to listen and respond, whatever the situation.💛
