We provide inspiration, training and support to empower anyone who might be experiencing mental health obstacles along the way, especially after the disruption caused by the pandemic and the return to daily life responsibilities.

I AM YOU is a mentoring campaign designed  to focus on Mental Health – defined by the World Health Organisation as ‘ A state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity’- while helping young people to recover from the effects of COVID-19.

We want to help and create a world where support is available, and inspiration can be taken from other individuals’ experiences!

By targeting 18  Primary schools across Barking & Dagenham Borough, I AM YOU is coming to life by running a 3 day sports festivals and offering a packaged programme that will operate during an initial 10 week period -with the possibility to be extended throughout following school terms - and will be structured on white board/ open discussion, physical activities sessions and promotional material such as inspirational posters. 

Our sports Festivals will offer a different range of activities - Basketball, Football & Dance - and our mentoring workshops will be structured on a three R’s framework: RESPONSE, RESILIENCE & RECOVERY.

We are now asking those who can, to give what they can to help us run this programme and identify who needs our best guidance. We won’t give up until we can direct young people’s journey towards improved mental health well-being. 

We are raising £30000 for this project - to cover Coaching/Mentoring Services,  Media & Marketing,  equipment, water, t-shirts - all in plan and ready to get back into the communities and brighten up spirits after the past year of pandemic.

This fundraiser will also reinforce our Care Packages offer (available on our website) - delivering essential items to 50 households across all London Boroughs - as support to all facing hardship after the loss of income due to COVID-19 outbreak.

 We thank-you in advance for anything you are able to give during this time where you too face uncertainty.
