Thanks to your generosity, we raised an incredible £3,013, after costs, to support young people’s wellbeing.

Huge love to our wonderful hosts Sue & Brian Westmacott, the amazing Andrea for making the magic happen, and our inspiring Young Leaders Sophie & Caz and Youth Advisory Panel who brought our mission to life 💫

Here’s to connection, community, and creating safe spaces for young people to thrive.

It's so and what better day for a social media takeover from our 💥

Inspired by the Lionesses recent success, they've designed this fantastic reel...

🦁 “Cool, calm, collected.” “You’ve got this.”

The Lionesses didn’t just win the Euros - they showed us the power of mindset. From breathwork to grounding rituals, their mantras helped them stay focused, resilient, and united under pressure.

🏆 The Lionesses didn’t just lift a trophy - they lifted the conversation around mental health.
Their quotes remind us that vulnerability is strength, and mindset is everything.

Let their words be your reminder: mental strength is just as vital as physical. 💪⚽

💬 A Fond Farewell & New Beginnings

After five incredible years, our Chair of Trustees Mark Humphries is stepping down. His leadership helped Lifespace navigate profound change and challenge - always with care, urgency, and belief in young people 💛

🗣️ “It’s been a genuine privilege to support the extraordinary work of Lifespace. I step down with immense pride in what we’ve built, complete confidence in Lifespace’s future, and huge thanks for the chance to ‘do my bit.’” - Mark

📈 In the last 5 years, we’ve:
✔️ Supported 3,000+ young people
✔️ Seen 86% report improved confidence
✔️ Grown our mentor network by 40%
✔️ Strengthened school & funder partnerships

💬 “But it’s the quiet stories that stay with me… the young person who finds their voice again, the one who returns to school feeling they belong, or the teenager who simply says, ‘Thank you for listening.’ That’s why Lifespace exists.”

🌟 Mark will continue as a trustee and hands over to Laura Prentice and Deputy Chair Mark Beardmore.

👋 Welcome, Laura!

We’re thrilled to welcome Laura as our new Chair of Trustees.

🗣️ “It’s a real honour to follow Mark’s thoughtful leadership. I’m grateful for the continued support of the board and look forward to working with the team to build on a strong foundation - and keep making space where young people feel heard and supported.” - Laura

🌞 That’s a wrap for summer! 🌞

The team is officially on a well-deserved break - but not before ending the term on a high note! 💛

This week, we were joined by our amazing colleagues from the SEND and Primary teams to reflect on our work and explore ways to grow and improve. Your insights were gold - thank you! 🙌

We also had the privilege of taking part in a powerful Trauma Informed training session with our friends at . They shared the inspiring work they’re doing to build Psychologically Informed Environments and embed a trauma-informed approach in everything they do. 💬🧠

We’re heading into summer feeling inspired, grateful, and ready to rest. See you in September! 🌿

🌱 Live from UCL London | Whole School Approaches to Mental Health 🌱

Today, is proud to be attending an inspiring event hosted by the Children and Young People's Mental Health Coalition (CYPMHC) and the Schools Wellbeing Partnership. We’re hearing from leaders across education, health, and youth support on how to embed whole school and college approaches to mental health.

During a powerful panel discussion, David Lockwood (NHS England) reminded us that:

Too many young people still present to crisis services with acute needs that could have been avoided through earlier intervention.

Kirstie Stroud (former school leader, now at the Department for Education) shared how Mental Health Leads are helping to shift the narrative in schools - highlighting the importance of balancing "achieving and thriving". This message deeply resonates with our work at Lifespace Trust.

We’re especially encouraged by the recognition that whole school approaches must be nuanced—not only focused on improving school culture, but also ensuring tailored, relational support is available for those who need it most.

At Lifespace, we know that emotional safety is foundational to learning. Young people thrive in environments where they feel heard, valued, and supported.

We’re looking forward to continuing the conversation tomorrow—exploring how we align visions across sectors and keep young people’s voices at the heart of this work.
