#Hello Yellow - World Mental Health Day
#Hello Yellow - World Mental Health Day
On Monday 10 October, thousands of schools, offices and communities across the UK took part in #Hello Yellow and raised vital funds to support the work of Young Minds.
Some of our school community dressed up, parents baked cakes, children and adults participated in assemblies and a focus on mental health and well-being occurred in community meetings.
The reason ISP School, Battle took part in such an important campaign is because we all struggle with how we are feeling sometimes and it’s normal to have ups and downs so we wanted our children to know that they are not alone with their mental health.
We are delighted to announce that so far we have raised £30.
Thank you all for making the day a special one!
