Facing the Future is a volunteering project, which trains volunteers aged 18-25 to support young people in mental health crises.

Get involved and become a mental health first-aider!

Volunteers training under Facing the Future will be directly helping Leicester’s young people feel happier, more optimistic for the future. Their work brings young people confidence that they have the resources to prevent or recover from mental health issues or crises.

Thank you to Children in Need and MDRT!

This project has been created thanks to a generous three-year grant from BBC Children in Need, and a one-year grant from MDRT. We are grateful to everyone at BBC Children in Need and at MDRT for their support.
