Molly returned to Trinity Academy, in Thorne, where she was a regular in school productions, as ambassador for Worth Unlimited Doncaster, taking part in a special meet and greet event as part of a series of activities held during National Children’s Mental Health Week.
Describing her visit as “heartwarming”, she said: “Stepping back into the building and meeting the incredible students was truly special.
“I had the privilege of speaking with many young people who have been supported by the wonderful team at Worth Unlimited, a charity dedicated to early intervention and emotional well-being support for young people.
“Hearing first hand how this support has been a lifeline for students facing overwhelming challenges reaffirmed just how vital this work is. Many shared how Worth Unlimited helped them find hope in moments of struggle, reminding me why I chose to be an ambassador for this incredible cause.”
Molly added: “I was also deeply moved by the dedication of the Trinity Academy staff, whose kindness and commitment to their students shine through in everything they do. Their support, alongside the work of Worth Unlimited, creates a safe and nurturing space for young people to be heard, valued, and empowered. I’m so proud to stand with a charity – and a school – that makes such a meaningful difference.”
Trinity Academy principal Victoria Gibson said: “Despite her busy calendar, Molly dedicated her time to support Trinity Academy’s younger students by sharing her personal journey and discussing the importance of mental health and well-being.
