PIK M3 UP is a magazine produced by and for young people as part of a project jointly developed and run by Soft Touch and the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS).
Young service users developed, designed and wrote the content for the magazine aimed at widening knowledge of emotional wellbeing and the services available for supporting young people. The magazine also includes a four-page survey carried out by members of the ‘Towards Positive Progression’ group, a youth action group developed by Black and Dual Heritage young people at Connexions Leicester Shire. The survey looks at whether ethnicity or religion make a difference to accessing health services.
The project was funded by Leicestershire NHS Partnership Trust: Child and Adolescent Mental Health Unit
The magazine is free but postage and packing needs to be covered for multiple copies.

Year 5 pupils at Mellor Community Primary School had plenty of opportunity to get their hands on – and teeth into - lots of fresh fruit and veg as part of the Veg-tastic project. The half-day activity had the children identifying and learning about different fruit and vegetables – where they come from, how they are grown, why they are good for us. Then the really fun part started – making pictures out of the produce which they then photographed. Some of them made up poems to go with their pictures. We couldn’t stop them wanting to eat it all up at the end of the day."This is a brilliant workshop – it’s so rare that children get to play with food without getting told off! They’ve learnt so much today and the pictures they have made out of fruit and veg are fantastic". Year 5 teacher
The project was part of our Creative Partnerships programme at Mellor Community Primary School.
