The makers of Wallace And Gromit have joined forces with Loughborough University academics to launch a new mental wellbeing campaign.
PARENTS of pupils at John of Gaunt School in Trowbridge have shown their appreciation by delivering cards, flowers and more than 600 Cadbury s Creme Eggs for the staff. The Friends of John of Gaunt wanted to recognise the incredible work the school has undertaken over lockdown. The group, which is made up of almost 200 school parents, said: We want to say thank you. We are so lucky to have an incredible team who work tirelessly for the students and parents. These have been challenging times and you have all overcome many difficult obstacles to keep us supported and informed while providing a first class service.

Aardman, the animation studio behind Wallace and Gromit, has appointed ilk to promote a major new mental health campaign.
What’s Up With Everyone has been developed in partnership with leading researchers and mental health charities to help young people who are struggling during lockdown and Covid-19.
The campaign is a series of short films, featuring 5 characters with issues related to loneliness, perfectionism, competitiveness, independence and social media.
“What’s Up With Everyone has been a long time in the making, and we’re so pleased that it’s finally live and available for young people to view, especially as mental wellbeing amongst young people is vital now more than ever before,” explained Neil Pymer, Creative Director at Aardman.
