02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
Tiny Changes is a young people’s mental health charity. We co-produce projects with young leaders that help young minds feel better. The charity was set up originally by the family of Frightened Rabbit frontman Scott Hutchison, who took his own life in 2018. Tiny Changes is now run by a diverse team of staff and volunteers, each with their own story and personal connection to this important cause. We believe that Scotland’s young people deserve great mental health, and we believe in their insight and innovation to make this possible. We exist to nurture the talent of young people to find solutions that work for them. We currently have 5 project leaders on our team, all under 30, each with lived experience of mental health challenges, who each run a mental health project in their community. Our work supports children and young people in primary school, Uni and other marginalised young people through film, podcast and henna art.
