Why Joe’s Buddy Line Needs You
Joe Lyons

Established in 2021, in memory of our beloved Joe, Joe's Buddy Line has rapidly become a respected mental health charity supporting children and young people from primary school to university across England and Wales. With the support of ambassador Roman Kemp, the charity has achieved a level of impact and recognition that surpasses expectations for its size and age.

The mental health needs of young people are enormous, and Joe’s Buddy Line seeks to respond to this need:

In 2022, an average of 18% of 7–16-year-olds and 22% of 17–24-year-olds had a mental health difficulty.

On average, 15.5% of 7–10-year-olds report having a mental health difficulty; of these, twice the number of males have the prevalence of a probable mental health problem.

By empowering young people at an early age with emotional education and supportive environments, they can personally navigate their mental wellbeing, have the confidence to ask for help, and the trust to know that support services are available.
