Why Accessible Mental Wellbeing Matters

The Reality of Children's Mental Health in the UK

1 in 5

In 2023, 20% of children aged 8-16 in England had a probable mental disorder—highlighting the urgent need for support where children live, learn, and play.

507,136

Over half a million children are in contact with NHS mental health services each month, with emergency referrals rising 10% year-on-year. Demand far exceeds capacity.

4 times more likely

Children from the poorest 20% of households are four times more likely to experience serious mental health difficulties by age 11—yet face the greatest barriers to accessing support.
