Bradford-based young people's health charity receives LNER funding
A Bradford charity dedicated to helping young people to build positive mental health has received funding through LNER's Customer and Community Investment Fund.
Working with secondary schools in the district, Step2 delivers workshops designed to strengthen pupils' mental and emotional resilience.
The charity teaches effective emotional communication skills and positive coping mechanisms, as well as supporting teachers, parents, school staff, and the community to work together to build "a wider culture of positive mental health."
Chloe Love, service lead at Step2, said: "We share skills with young people which empower them to help themselves, both emotionally and mentally.
"The funding from the LNER Customer and Community Investment Fund means we can reach more young people, teaching them how to cope with life's inevitable challenges.
"We want young people in Bradford not just to survive, but to thrive and build a better future for themselves and their families, ultimately benefitting Bradford as a whole."
Gemma Longbottom, special educational needs and disabilities coordinator at Titus Salt School, said: "Our pupils enjoy their sessions with Chloe, taking part in fun activities which build their mental health skills."
