SIMMPLY MINDS
Mental Health & Wellbeing Support
Simmply Minds provides accessible mental health and wellbeing programmes that combine physical activity, mentoring, mindfulness and personal development.
We support young people and communities through positive activities that build confidence, resilience and healthier coping strategies, while creating safe environments where people can connect and feel supported. This reflects the existing Simmply Minds focus on sport, mindfulness, peer support and targeted youth support.
Supporting Mental Health Through Physical Activity
Physical activity is central to our approach.
Through sport, exercise, mindfulness and group activities, our programmes provide positive ways for participants to manage stress, improve confidence and connect with others.
Our support can include:
Sport and fitness activities
Mindfulness and wellbeing workshops
Mentoring and personal development
Peer and group support
Structured programmes for young people
For those looking for wider opportunities to become active, our Simmply Active programmes provide accessible community sport and physical activity.
Simmply Minds also works with young people who may benefit from additional mentoring, wellbeing support or positive activities.
This includes our 10-week Wellbeing Programme for schools and community organisations, which combines personal development lessons with physical activity to develop confidence, resilience, teamwork and healthy habits.

Knife Crime Awareness
Mental wellbeing, positive relationships and early intervention can all play a role in helping young people make safer choices.
Alongside our wider youth work, Simmply Active delivers knife crime awareness and prevention initiatives designed to encourage earlier conversations and help young people, parents and communities recognise concerns before they escalate.
Our national knife crime awareness campaign highlights an important message:
“Kids can learn to pick up knives younger than you think.”
Where young people require more targeted early-intervention support around vulnerability, violence or knife crime, our work connects with Simmply Project UK.
