For over 15 years, One-Eighty has been working at the point where mental health and education meet - supporting children and young people who are struggling to engage with school and are at risk of falling behind.

Across Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire, work takes place with young people aged 4–17 facing anxiety, trauma, neurodiversity, SEND-related challenges and complex home lives. Support is delivered at home, in school and in the community, building the trust needed for meaningful change.

Support is delivered through:

Intensive one-to-one therapeutic support
Preventative group projects in schools
Training and supervision for professionals

Since 2019, referrals have more than tripled. Each year, One-Eighty supports over 2,000 young people, with 97% sucess rate against planned outcomes, including improved emotional wellbeing, increased confidence and re-engagement with education.

How Your Support Helps

Today, 1 in 4 young people are living with a probable mental health disorder, while more than 28,000 children and young people across Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire are persistently absent from school.

Fundraising helps more young people access support before challenges escalate. Independent analysis found that every £1 invested in One-Eighty creates £11.48 of social value, reflecting long-term benefits for young people, families and communities.

Your fundraising could support:

£10 could equip one young person with mental health awareness and coping strategies.
£100 could support 10 young people.
£500 could deliver the Make Me Smile project to an entire class.

Every mile run, every challenge completed and every pound raised helps turn more young lives around.
