Young Minds Blogs

I wanted to share the links to the blogs I have written as a Young Blogger for the charity Young Minds. Some of these are blogs I wrote myself and others in collaboration with other young people. There are so many great blogs written by young people on a very diverse range of topics, so I would definitely recommend taking a look at the Young Minds Blog :)

This list will be updated each time there I get a new blog published- I have currently got two about to be and one I have started writing!!

Also to note these have been writtem over a number of years, so as with all things there will be differences now but overall I think the messages are still very important to share <3
