How you can get involved!

Express Yourself for Children’s Mental Health Week 2024!

The tenth Children’s Mental Health Week will run from 5 – 11 February 2024, and the fundraising campaign is called Express Yourself .

Express Yourself allows children and young people to celebrate what makes them unique with an incredibly fun dress-up day – this could be sharing their favourite hobby, such as skateboarding or dancing, or wearing their favourite colour or accessory or just coming in as themselves.

Express Yourself is about letting children’s voices shine through, and empowering them to tell their own stories!

Thank you, fundraising!

Hayden did a skip-a-thon at his school during Children’s Mental Health Week. He wanted to support children’s mental health to make a difference to himself and other children. Hayden’s goal was to complete 100 skips a day and raise £100 by the end of the week. With a little help from two of his school friends, he managed an incredible 11,000 skips and raised a whopping £240!

During Children’s Mental Health Week 2023, Avalon School raised a fabulous £200 by holding a Dress to Express Day.

“At Avalon, we have a very active school council who get involved in many of our fundraising events. We ensure that our children and parents know exactly where any money raised is going to and how it will be spent. Finally, we like to have fun when we are fundraising which we feel is very important!”
