Base 51

Join us over the next three weeks at Art in Mind - we’ll be working on making 3D dioramas to explore what matters to you!

We support young people through three core services: counselling and therapy, youth work and volunteering.

Each one is designed to create a safe space, build real relationships, and give young people the tools and confidence to explore the issues that matter to them.

If you could help us spread the word, we’d really appreciate a repost. 💚

Your support can help us reach more young people and continue making a meaningful difference.

Art in Mind returns! Free art-based mental health sessions for anyone aged 11-18, based in Clifton. Make sure to book your (free!) tickets and ensure your place at the link tree in our bio!

We’re also looking for artists to facilitate some of our sessions going forward - if you’re an artist local to Clifton or Nottingham, please get in touch with [email protected]!

Everything we do is aimed at real, lasting change. Better health and wellbeing. Greater confidence and resilience. Stronger outcomes in education, training and employment.

That's the difference Base 51 makes, one young person at a time.

Young people deserve somewhere to turn.

Growing up isn’t always easy. Young people are navigating loneliness, mental health pressures, inequality, uncertainty about the future and a world that can sometimes feel divided.

At Base 51, we’re here to help.

We create safe spaces where young people can connect with trusted adults, talk about the things that matter to them and build the confidence and tools they need to move forward.

Sometimes that means counselling or therapy. Sometimes it’s youth work, volunteering, or simply having someone who listens.

Whatever the starting point, it’s about meeting young people where they are and helping them see what’s possible.

Because every young person has potential. 💚

Life can be a rollercoaster of emotions, and that’s okay. If you ever feel overwhelmed, remember that going to asking for help isn’t a sign of weakness - it's a sign of strength 💪 Talking to a counsellor can help you understand your feelings, manage stress, and build confidence. Plus, it’s a safe space to express yourself without judgment.

You can also talk to friends, family members, teachers or other trusted adults - the most important thing is to not bottle up how you're feeling.

Feeling those back-to-school jitters? You're not alone! Here are 5 tips to help you tackle that anxiety:

1️⃣ Breathe Deep: Whenever you feel overwhelmed, take a moment to breathe in deeply and slowly exhale. It helps calm your mind and body. 🌬️

2️⃣ Organise Your Space: Having a tidy study area can clear up mental clutter and make you feel more in control. 📚🗂️

3️⃣ Stay Connected: Reach out to friends or family members. Sharing your thoughts can lighten the load and remind you that you're supported. 🤗

4️⃣ Set Small Goals: Break down tasks into manageable chunks. Celebrate little wins to boost your confidence. 🎯

5️⃣ Practice Self-Care: Make time for activities you love, whether it’s listening to music, drawing, or playing sports. Keep your well-being a priority all throughout the year! 🌟
