LAVA Advisory Partners is proud to announce a new charity partnership with Anna Freud, a world-leading mental health charity for children and young people. This collaboration forms part of LAVA’s long-standing commitment to using business as a force for good.
Established in 2020 during a particularly challenging period for young people everywhere, the M&A Advisory firm pledged to protect and promote the mental health and wellbeing of the nation’s youth through its LAVA Positive Change initiative.
The initiative, which commits 2.5% of annual turnover to organisations furthering this mission, is now in its fifth year. LAVA works with a number of charities, large and small, on projects from event sponsorships to marathons, and is proud to add Anna Freud to the list.
LAVA’s donations will support the charity’s work which includes specialist clinical services, schools support, and professional training, ensuring children and young people receive the right mental health and wellbeing support at the right time.
When we started LAVA it was important to us to use our fortunate position to lend support to charities like Anna Freud, and we feel incredibly privileged to be working with such a brilliant organisation with a rich history of ensuring children and young people get evidence-based mental health and wellbeing support when and where they need it most.
Simon Woodcock LAVA Partner
We’re really delighted to have the LAVA team on board – whose support will help Anna Freud create innovative mental health care, research, training, and resources, led by the latest science and guided by young people. 1 in 5 children and young people have a probable mental health disorder and we can only close this gap with support from our generous partners, including LAVA.1”
