About us
Who we are
We're the youth-led mental health charity (no. 1204314) connecting young people aged 11-25 with decision makers to create #change in our support services! We focus on hearing and taking action on the priorities young people raise to us.
We run outreach projects and youth forums to integrate youth voices into service design and provision. All our projects and activities facilitate collaboration between young people and decision makers, driving systemic improvements in support systems across the UK.
We're led by a team of young people aged 16-25, who challenge the negative stigma attached to mental health and volunteer their time to support the wellbeing of others.
Our culture and values
At A Little Bit of Sunshine, we believe in the power of youth voice and the importance of service users having a voice and feeling listened to. We're working to ensure young people get a seat at the table when it comes to designing and delivery services to support young people's mental health and wellbeing.
Our 'ALBOS' values as an organisation are:
Accessibility - we will provide fair and open access to volunteer opportunities and support services for our communities.
Leadership - we will motivate ourselves and each other to meet our aims and support our communities
Belonging- we will create and foster an inclusive culture of support for everyone at the charity.
Open Minded - We will take on board other people’s ideas to ensure we meet our aims.
Selfless - We will act with less concern for ourselves and more for the success of the charity and our mission as a whole.
