#BeeWell

#BeeWell was co-founded by The University of Manchester, The Gregson Family Foundation and Anna Freud. Central to the programme is a survey, created collaboratively with 350 young people from 30 schools and a team of mental health and wellbeing experts.

#BeeWell was co-founded by The University of Manchester, The Gregson Family Foundation and Anna Freud in 2019, and developed in partnership with the Greater Manchester Combined Authority. In 2023 #BeeWell expanded into Hampshire, Isle of Wight, Portsmouth, and Southampton.

Central to the programme is a survey, created collaboratively with 350 young people from 30 schools and a team of mental health and wellbeing experts. The young participants played a crucial role in designing the survey to ensure it reflected what truly mattered to them.

The #BeeWell findings are then shared with schools and coalition partners in order to understand priorities and respond accordingly, with our CORC team meeting with school representatives and young people to discuss the findings in detail.

As a founding member of #BeeWell, we are working with a coalition of organisations , including Pro Bono Economics, The Children’s Society and Fair Education Alliance, to deliver the Our Wellbeing, Our Voice campaign. This campaign is calling on the government to implement a national wellbeing measurement programme, a call Anna Freud made in our 2024 manifesto, to address the needs of children and young people across England.

Keep up with progress to date and learn how you can get involved in Our Wellbeing, Our Voice.
