Sad to see today's news that the take up of apprenticeships have fallen by a quarter. Signals that the work of orgs like @WhiteHatGB is more important than ever, both in changing the landscape for businesses and changing perceptions of their role in helping young people to thrive 1 day ago
Founder @HollyBranson looks back and why @bigchange_ was created and reflecting on some lessons learnt along the way virg.in/JER 1 day ago
At Big Change, our mission is to help young people thrive in life, not just exams. This mission seems particularly important when you consider some of the scary stats out there, particularly in relation to children’s wellbeing. According to a recent yougov poll 27% of students in the UK report having a mental health problem, and last year in a single month 235,000 young people in England were in contact with NHS mental health services. Young people today are feeling the pressure of an increasingly complex world, dominated by exams, social media and the "always on" mentality. As are teachers, who are fast becoming the most stressed workforce in the country.
At Big Change, we know that to treat these problems we need to address the root causes. That's why we are backing projects like How to Thrive. How to Thrive are proactively building mental and emotional resilience for both teachers and pupils - because they know to help young people thrive, we need our teachers to thrive. Find out more about How to Thrive below!
