As part of our Fundraising Challenge for 2026, we’re encouraging groups to get involved with ‘Hello Yellow’, YoungMinds’ annual awareness day, linked to World Mental Health Day (10th October).

We’d love to see as many groups as possible take on some activities during this week – 5th to 11th October – in support of Hello Yellow. As part of the session you could also run yellow themed games and activities, organise a yellow bake sale or take on some fundraising challenges. It’s a simple but powerful way to show young people that they’re not alone with their mental health.

To support leaders in running a Hello Yellow Programme, we’ve created some themed programmes filled with ideas and activities to get involved with. These are available for Anchors, Juniors & Company/Seniors. You can also sign up directly with YoungMinds, via their website, to receive more Hello Yellow resources and activities to support you with your session.

Get involved in our Fundraising Challenge

Throughout 2026 we’ve been encouraging BB groups to get involved in our Fundraising Challenge, aiming to raise awareness, funds, and understanding around mental wellbeing, encouraging children and young people to take part in a year of fundraising, learning, and action to support YoungMinds’ vital work.
