The Emerging Impact Award recognises the positive impact #BeeWell is having through its innovative approach to understanding and improving young people’s wellbeing. Working in
partnership with Hampshire County Council and local stakeholders, the programme has engaged more than 20,000 young people across Hampshire, Southampton, Portsmouth
and the Isle of Wight (HIPS), generating valuable insights that help shape local action and support. This recognition highlights the value of partnership working and celebrates the contributions of everyone involved in the #BeeWell community. We would like to thank our local authority partners, schools, researchers and Coalition of Partners whose commitment to strengthening young people’s voices continues to drive meaningful change and improve wellbeing outcomes.
The Portsmouth Inspiring Volunteer Award award recognises the dedication, passion and commitment of volunteers who make a lasting difference within their communities. Through creating safe, welcoming and inclusive spaces, The Wellbeing Club has helped countless young people connect with one another, build confidence, and develop new skills. The Wellbeing Club has become an important part of the local community, providing opportunities for young people to explore topics relating to mental health and wellbeing, take part in creative activities, and have their voices heard. Receiving this award is a testament to the incredible volunteers whose enthusiasm, creativity and compassion help make every session meaningful. Their commitment has enabled The Wellbeing Club to reach more young people, foster positive relationships and support improved wellbeing outcomes across Portsmouth.
A special thank you to The Gregson Family Foundation for funding The Wellbeing Club whose continued investment and belief in the value of youth–led wellbeing initiatives have made this work possible!
