Father’s Day is a time to celebrate the love and support that our Dad’s and father figures give. But for many children and young people, navigating life’s challenges can feel overwhelming – especially when it comes to their mental health.
This year, why not celebrate Father’s Day with a charity gift? One that could have a meaningful impact on a young person’s life. Your donation could provide vital mental health support for a child in need, such as counselling for a child in care or access to support groups.
Your donation could help us reach children and families across the UK
The cost of living crisis, rising poverty, and social media are all placing immense pressure on children and young people's lives. Youth mental health is declining and children are struggling to get the support they need.
Thankfully, we have thousands of dedicated support workers helping every day:

54,878
Last year, we supported 687,755 children, young people, and families across the UK. 54,878 of them received support for their mental health and wellbeing. With a virtual Father's Day gift, you could help us reach even more.
Your generosity could bring hope and relief to those who need it most.
How we support people with their mental health:
The Blues Programme
Our six-week wellbeing programme, Blues Programme supports young people aged 13-19.
The programme gets young people talking. Participants learn to support themselves and one another through listening, learning to challenge negative thoughts, and finding coping strategies that work for them.
So far, we’ve delivered The Blues Programme in over 380 schools, to more than 13,700 young people. 77% of students say it improved their confidence.
Parent Talk
Our Parent Talk service provides free, down-to-earth information and advice for parents of children aged 0-19. Parent Talk offers articles on a wide range of topics along with a 1:1 live chat service where parents can talk with qualified parenting coaches.
Bouncing Back
Our Bouncing Back programme gets primary school children in Wales talking about how they’re feeling. In an evaluation, 90% of participants felt that they knew how and when to ask for help after taking part. Seven out of ten said their confidence had increased, too.
