The Youth Ambassador Programme (YAP) is developed and guided by our Youth Advisory Board (YAB). Open to young people aged 12 to 24, it supports ambassadors to take part in advocacy and outreach for children’s mental health.
Ambassadors turn their own ideas into action for children, from awareness campaigns to youth-led fundraisers. As Amaara Samanani, our Youth Advisory Board Chair, puts it: “We want young people to have the opportunity to share their own ideas.”

Young people use their voices, time, and creativity to support children in our partner homes.
Speaking up for children’s mental health, and helping the public understand why early, caring support matters so much to a child’s future.
Organising or joining fundraisers and community days that bring friends and families together for children, such as Padel for a Purpose. Take part in your own way, with no targets and no pressure.
Taking part in practical experiences that bring young people closer to the children we support, and seeing the difference that caring time makes in a child’s day.
