This partnership reflects Aramark UK’s commitment to making a positive impact in the communities they serve. According to a recent survey, one in five children and young people aged eight to 25 years-old have a mental health condition.
Fiona Martin, managing director of education at Aramark UK, said: “We have spent a long time finding a charity that we believe is a perfect fit for our sector and could not be happier to be working with YoungMinds. Mental health is a cause that deeply resonates with our teams, who often witness firsthand the challenges young people face. Together with YoungMinds, we aim to extend our support and make a difference together.”
Aramark will raise awareness and funds for YoungMinds, while also training and supporting its own teams to enhance mental health support for students and young lives on a national basis.
Michelle Kerrigan, head of relationship development at YoungMinds, commented: “We are delighted to work with Aramark UK. Their commitment to mental health and proactive support for young people is inspiring. The funds raised and awareness generated will enable more young people to access the support they need. Through this collaboration we can create meaningful social value.”
