Last month, Jade delivered assemblies in Torbay to destigmatise mental health, empower young people, build mental health resilience, and increase awareness and acceptance of neurodiversity.

Thanks to the support of Torbay Council, Jade was able to deliver her ‘Reach For the Stars’ assembly to three primary schools in Torbay, including Upton St James C of E Primary School, All Saints Babbacombe C of E Primary School, and Ilsham C of E Academy.

We are delighted to have been funded by The Allen Lane Foundation! Thanks to their generous funding, we are able to deliver all 18 sessions of our Zoom group for parents/carers supporting a young person struggling with their mental health.
