This episode is about Spark UK, an organisation that was set up in 2020 by four teenagers in order to lead the conversation around young people’s mental health. Based in North Devon, the teenagers combine their academic studies with creating content for Spark UK, which is then shared with schools across the country in the form of resources, newsletters, blogs and podcasts.
