WHAT'S NEW?

Are you, or a young person in your life, getting ready for uni or college?

We believe that looking after your mind is just as important as using it.

That’s why we’ve collaborated with The Positive Planner @THE_PP_JOURNAL to create a brand-new, wellbeing-focused, student journal. It's specially designed to help students navigate student life. Sales will help fund Samaritans’ life-saving work.
