In Amy’s memory, we work to inspire children and young people to build their self-esteem and resilience, so they can flourish.
Joined October 2011
It’s been inspiring to see such bright, passionate and thoughtful young minds @eppingyc representing their schools and peers with pride and purpose. We’re so proud to have been involved in working with you. The ‘Ditch the Vape’ report can be seen here:
Our Ditch the Vape report is out 🥳 Thank u @HWEssex @thechildrenssocietyeast @Amysfoundation & @trainingeffect. Your input helped to shape our project. We can't wait to present our findings & outcomes to MP @DrNeilHudson at our EFYC Youth Conference on 21 Nov.

Huge thanks to the amazing Yrs 7, 8 & 9 at @KL_School_UK - such engaged, thoughtful, and inspiring students. We explored important topics like self-esteem, peer pressure, the challenges young people face and coping strategies for wellbeing - and the conversations were powerful 🙏🏼

Having these conversations in safe supported spaces is key. Great interaction with students and staff @barnetsouthgate College this week 🙏🏼.
Resilience starts with conversation! 💬. It was great to welcome @AmysFoundation for inspiring talks with ESOL students at Barnet campus. Discussions on self-esteem, social media & addiction helped empower students to make informed life choices. 💯. @barnetsouthgate #MindMatters

Today we were devastated to hear that our dear friend Paul Danan has passed away. He always championed our work, and volunteered as part of our Resilience Programme. Here he is on our programme launch day in 2013, with some of our volunteers. Such a beautiful soul. RIP Pauly ❤️x

This week we’ve seen great engagement from yrs 7, 8 & 9 pupils @SandymoorOA in #Runcorn. Our volunteer Sarah shared her personal experience of #addiction starting with #nicotine from a young age. Pupils then participated in smaller workshops to understand issues around #vaping

As #AddictionAwarenessWeek2024 ends, we want you to know that it's never too late to ask for support. And also, it's never too early. If you feel you can't reach out for help because you're too young — you can. People will listen. People will help. #recoveryispossible

And if you have your own story of recovery to share, please do! Because addiction affects everyone BUT we need everyone to know RECOVERY IS POSSIBLE.
