Who We Are

Meet the people behind Bounce Forward

We are Bounce Forward. Trusted experts on psychological fitness.

Founded in 2009, Bounce Forward was incubated in its early years within Hertfordshire County Council and became an independent charity in 2016.

In 2019 we transformed our approach, working intensively with educators, psychologists, academics and young people to deliver practical, relevant and flexible solutions.

In 2023 we announced a partnership with Harry Kane Foundation to inspire and transform a generation’s thinking about mental health.

Our Core Principles

Mental resilience and emotional wellbeing are key attributes needed for success in the 21st century
Sound research, theory and evidence informs everything we do
We teach skills and strategies that work in the real world
The adults matter: their role is vital in helping children and young people to be psychologically healthy
When it comes to mental health, prevention is better than cure. We must invest in prevention.
