Ditch the Label

Huge congratulations to our founder and CEO, Liam Hackett, on receiving an MBE in the New Year Honours List for his exceptional contributions to youth empowerment and mental health support!

His tireless efforts to make a positive impact on the lives of young people are truly inspiring and we are incredibly proud of his achievement.

As the holiday season approaches, we are temporarily closing our support community between Saturday 23rd December to Monday 1st January.

During this time, our amazing team of mentors will be taking a well-deserved break to spend time with family and friends, recharge, and celebrate the festivities.

We understand that support is crucial, and we apologise for any inconvenience or disruption this may cause.

We've included a list of crisis organisations in this post which are available over the holiday season if you need support during this time ❤️

For those that celebrate, all of us at Ditch the Label wish you a happy and peaceful holiday season and a Happy New Year! ✨
