Thanks to Innovate UK we are distributing several thousand journals to children on free school meals

UPDATE: 19th June 2020 12:00:

All journals have now been allocated but you can still leave your details below so we can inform you of future school initiatives as we endeavour to secure follow-up funding.

How your school can apply

Our journals are already being used in homes and schools across the UK as a way of promoting positive habits and bolstering the mental wellbeing of children in a simple and effective way. With just a few minutes of focus a day, children benefit by being encouraged to express gratitude, reflect on their emotions and think about their actions.

Teachers and parents alike are delighted at the impact our journals have on the children using them reporting improved behaviour, more positive mindsets, lower stress levels, better communication and improved sleep amongst others. We are therefore delighted to be able to make our journals available for free to UK schools.

To find our more about our Innovate UK funding you can read our press release here.

Schools across the UK are invited to apply below.

Journals will be distributed in batches on a first come first served basis but we will be monitoring the geographic distribution to ensure a fair spread across the UK.
