Make Life Kind Charity
Make Life Kind is now officially a registered charity! With a goal to drive diversity, wellness and safety awareness into the education sector, and fight stigmatised topics.
A glimpse into what we do…
It was created initially to support teachers with their mental health during COVID, and to help them be able to support students where possible.
Now, the Make Life Kind movement has grown into so much more… educating and supporting staff AND students with key stigmas in school and to focus more of their wellbeing.
Why is it important for your school?
We’re passionate about working with you on a whole school approach
Be part of the change! We’re passionate about making a difference and want to help your staff become trained and educated to be able to help themselves, other colleagues, and students.
Stigmatised topics, such as Mental Health, Knife Crime, Diversity, and much more, are often shied away from in education.. But we are driven to change that and make stigma topics a key discussion.
So far, here’s what we’ve achieved across the UK:
- 24 months spent tackling stigmas, inspiring, and educating
- 100,000 students experienced Make Life Kind
- 30+ inspirational speakers onboarded
- 100s of schools partnered with
- 20 football clubs presented to
- 2 police forces collaborated with
- 600 knives taken off the streets in partnership with our anti-knife crime speaker
And so much more!
We want to continue helping educators, leaders and young people to thrive!
Supporting teachers, support staff, middle leaders, and SLT
Make Life Kind isn’t just for students!
We’re trying to support teachers, support staff, middle leaders, and SLT too.
Passionate about focusing on staff wellbeing, supporting stigmatised topics in schools, and generally inspiring and educating – we want to help you!
