What an event it was for 2025.
This year we hosted two events, one for primary school students and one for secondary school and college students. They took place at YMCA Activity Village Newark on Tuesday 4 and Wednesday 5 February 2025, coinciding with Children’s Mental Health Week.
Hundreds of local young people attended, who took part in workshops, watched performances by talented local artists, and connected with mental health and wellbeing service providers.
