Suppliers on Lot 3 of CPC's Insurance and Associated Services framework, Howden Group are encouraging institutions to enter their Pupils Wellbeing Prize, with a chance to win £10,000 in support of young people's mental health and wellbeing.
The competition gives schools an opportunity to win up to £10,000 to provide funding for activities, equipment, kit or space to support the mental health and wellbeing of pupils. This could be through sport, music, art, wellbeing or mindfulness activities or experiences. It’s up to you to choose how your school wishes to spend the prize money, but here are a few examples:
Mindfulness and relaxation spaces
Create quiet areas for reflection, sensory rooms or nature-inspired zones.
Peer support networks
Train mental health ambassadors to support fellow pupils.
Outdoor activity programmes
Develop activities or challenges that promote physical activity, team-building and connection with nature.
Sports and fitness
Purchase equipment/sports kits, provide training and mental health support.
Art/music and wellbeing
Fund installations, drama performances or music sessions/instruments to boost self-esteem and reduce stress.
A panel of judges will determine whether the prize money is awarded to a single school, or shared among a small number of schools that have all successfully demonstrated how they intend to use it to support pupils with mental health and wellbeing.
This panel will include Jo Taylor (Executive Director, Howden's Education Division), Baasit Siddiqui (Entrepreneur and Educator), Dr. Radha Modgil (Health & Wellbeing Expert, Broadcaster and Author) and Jason Elsom (CEO, Parentkind).
Having officially opened on 27th March 2025, entries for Howden's Pupils Wellbeing Prize competition will close on Friday 18th July, with the winner(s) to be selected on Friday 22nd August and subsequently announced on Monday 8th September.
