FAQs

We encourage everyone to try and take part on 10 October as this is also World Mental Health Day, however you’re welcome to pick another date around this time if this is more convenient for you. We also encourage schools to pick an alternative date in their school calendar that works best for them to take part in Hello Yellow if this clashes with school closures or half term.

We encourage everyone to wear yellow on Hello Yellow day, however if this isn’t your thing you’re welcome to come up with your own ways to show your support for young people’s mental health and have lots of activities and fundraising ideas in our digital fundraising pack, which you can access once you’ve signed up.
