We are delighted to announce and welcome Beyond as SSF UK Collaborators.
Founded by Jonny Benjamin MBE and Neil Laybourn, the organisation exists to challenge and change the mental health status quo. They raise money to help other organisations who are underfunded or underutilised and are committed to giving out grants which will truly make a difference to the mental health of young people up and down the UK. They share knowledge and best practice and campaign to make a difference and bring about change before the point of crisis.
Beyond is a youth mental health charity that exists to improve young people’s mental health in the UK. Beyond enables access to high quality mental health support for young people both in and out of school, increases awareness of services and support available, and gives a voice and platform to young people with lived experience of the challenges of mental health.
They are the co-creators of Now and Beyond on Inside Out Day; the UK's first ever mental health and wellbeing festival for primary and secondary schools. In response to COVID-19's impact on an already urgent mental health crisis, Beyond and Inside Out Day joined forces to create this landmark event. Schools will open their ‘virtual’ doors to hundreds of child & adolescent mental health professionals, speakers and wellness teachers volunteering their time to host talks and workshops with school children.
Beyond is powered by an impassioned youth board that is determined to instil new attitudes. They are the heart and soul of the charity – the idea-generators, campaign drivers and future change makers.To find out more about them visit their website HERE
