Beyond facilitates the delivery of bespoke, mental health interventions for London based educational settings from our network of trusted and approved providers.

Schools’ Programme FAQs

  • What is the Schools’ Programme?

    Founded by Beyond, the Schools’ Programme facilitates the delivery of quality mental health support for young people in educational settings within the M25.

     

    We are currently only able to support London based settings as we try to create a sustainable financial future for the programme.

     

    The Schools’ Programme provides up to £15 000 worth of mental health support from our community of approved London based youth mental health and wellbeing providers.

     

    As a small charity with limited internal resources, unfortunately we are unable to respond to all applications. You will be notified if your application is successful. In the absence of a response from us, please note that we always revisit existing applications as more funding becomes available. If your setting would like to support our fundraising efforts we’d love to hear from you, please get in touch with lowri@wearebeyond.org.uk.

  • How much can I apply for?

    Beyond will provide access to health support at a maximum value of £15,000.

     

    We prioritise critical interventions that include one-to-one therapeutic support (including creative therapies), teacher training and tailored mental health workshops. In some cases, we will also fund whole-school programmes and other preventative measures. You can check out some of the schools we’ve helped with the Schools’ Programme here.
