The grant comes from the Paul Hamlyn Foundation which has been supporting YoungMinds since 2015.
It will enable YoungMinds to reach and engage more young people experiencing disadvantage, inequality and injustice, which the charity describes as “key contributors to mental health problems”.
YoungMinds will use the grant to further develop its youth-centred approach, working with young people to inform the design of their support and services.
It will also support the growth and evolution of existing services, like the Parent Helpline, and develop how it works as a charity to respond to changing needs.
Laura Bunt, chief executive of YoungMinds, said: “Every day we hear from young people who need support for their mental health but are unable to get it. They are growing up in an increasingly unstable world, with the impact of the pandemic, the cost-of-living crisis and global instability all taking a toll on their mental health, and help is too hard to find.
