You asked us for more positive news, this is what we have done...

At The Mix, it is essential that we listen and work with young people to make sure that our organisation meets the needs of young people. We know that this is particularly important in the world we are in right now, and so some of you will have attended some workshop chats to help set the direction of the organisation throughout this pandemic. One of the strong themes that came out of these workshops was that we need to ensure that there is more positive stories being shared despite all the scary news about the virus.

Our content team heard what you were asking for and worked furiously to embed this in the content they have been creating for Mental Health Awareness Week, and yesterday we launched this video:

We would love to hear what you think about it, alongside the legendary things you have seen/done during lockdown. Make sure you add yours to our song writing challenge over here.

    Sometimes all you need is one person to believe in you , for you to begin to believe in yourself.

    Absolutely loved this. I saw a tweet from a YouTube influencer going on about how people stopped being kind in lockdown etc etc and after seeing this, it just goes to show how kind and how close communities have become. 
    I did have a cry, yes. To put it bluntly, it's am extremely shit time at the moment and I think people need to look and reflect on the positives more, instead of all the negatives floating around

    This gave me goosebumps - thank you so much @Ed_ I needed that!


    I would also recommend following @thehappynewspaper on Instagram (and you can subscribe to their quarterly newspaper too) it's really heartwarming and has been getting me through the past few months.
