Time For ACTION. Let's Tackle The Children's Mental Health Crisis TOGETHER.
Join Dame Jessica Ennis-Hill and fellow Sheffield locals Dan Walker, Jon Richardson and Lucy Beaumont and help stem the global Children’s Mental Health crisis, helping support Sheffield Children’s, the Children’s Hospital Charity and children around the world.
"Mental Health in children is at breaking point across the world. As a Mum it breaks my heart. We can do so much more, and we need to! I want to create a legacy that can define a future pathway for better care for the children of tomorrow. Sheffield is my hometown, and Sheffield Children's is at the forefront of pediatric care in the UK, and beyond - and they have big ambitions to make a difference across the world.
I've seen first hand the work that is being done, but more funding is needed to help more children, and more research is needed that must be shared with the world. Dan, Jon, Lucy and I need your help to make sure future generations get the Mental Health care & support they deserve. Mental Health & Wellbeing underpins everything, and it is an area that needs much needed attention, funding and clinical support."

- Campaign Founder, Dame Jessica Ennis-Hill
Over the last 5 years, patient cases have increased globally, and children around the world are at crisis point. Things are getting worse, not better.
Globally, one in seven 10-19 year-olds experiences a mental disorder, accounting for 13% of the global burden of disease in this age group.
Depression, anxiety and behavioural disorders are among the leading causes of illness and disability among adolescents.
Suicide is the fourth leading cause of death among 15-29 year-olds.
The consequences of failing to address adolescent mental health conditions extend to adulthood, impairing both physical and mental health and limiting opportunities to lead fulfilling lives as adults.

Bright Young Dreams will raise money every year to directly fund a global action plan and infrastructure for Sheffield Children’s and the Children’s Hospital Charity. The campaign will directly fund new and actionable research, clinical development, the support and training of clinicians, and a new and updated global leading facility and space at Sheffield Children’s.
Let's Build Something Better Together.
Sheffield Children’s NHS Foundation Trust is one of only three dedicated children’s hospital Trusts in the UK and provides integrated healthcare for children and young people, including community and mental health care as well as acute and specialist services.
Started in Sheffield. Shared with the world.
Donations from the campaign will fund an ambition to unite and help hospitals & trusts around the world, sharing research and helping the finance of clinical advancements.
