Helping young people feel safe, heard and supported.
Growing up in today’s world can be incredibly challenging. Every child, every young person deserves to feel safe, heard, and supported. So, we create spaces for them where they can be themselves and talk about their thoughts and feelings. They understand better than anyone what’s happening in their own lives, so we listen, without judging.
We help young people to build the confidence and the skills they need to be safe and to thrive.
Where help is needed, we help early, because it often stops problems from becoming much bigger. We’re also there for children and young people when problems have developed, and they need more focused help.
Schools, parents, and carers sometimes need help too, so we work with families and professionals to provide networks of support and care around children and young people.
Everything we learn from our work we use to inspire change for young people.
Watch Caitlin’s story to learn more about our work and why it’s so vital that children have access to The Eikon Charity’s support.
How we help
We are guided by the needs of young people. This means we work directly with children and young people themselves – but we also work with parents, carers and professionals to help support young people through every aspect of their lives.

It’s Mental Health Awareness Week and we are pledging to ensure young people feel safe, heard and supported.
This week your donations will be doubled thanks to the Big Give Kind2Mind campaign from now until midday on Monday 22nd May, until we reach our target of £10,000.
With your help, we can support young people sooner – meaning they have someone to speak to about things that are worrying them.
