Why we support Young Minds Children's Charity

Working closely with children of all ages, and being mums ourselves, a topic close to our hearts is the wellbeing of all young people. We understand the importance of children’s mental-health, and that's why pop-up portraits supports Young Minds by donating 3% of our profits.

Their mission is to see a world where no young person feels alone with their mental-health, and all young people get the mental-health support they need, when they need it, no matter what. Sadly there is a mental-health crisis in our classrooms. Three children in every classroom have a diagnosable mental disorder and 90% of school leaders have reported an increase in the last 5 years in the number of students experiencing anxiety, stress, low mood or depression.

Children and young people are facing more pressures than ever before, including exam pressure, social media and cyberbullying and pressure over body image.

Schools play a crucial role in developing the skills young people need to cope and flourish in today’s world. They are a constant in young peoples’ lives, and are a safe, familiar place for vulnerable young people.

We support Young Minds because we want to help them lead the fight for a future where all young minds are supported and empowered, whatever the challenges.
