EdTech firm myHappymind has secured a minority investment from LDC, the private equity arm of Lloyds Banking Group, as it looks to scale its digital mental health and wellbeing programmes for children and young people.

Founded in 2017 by CEO Laura Earnshaw, the Cheshire-based business provides preventative mental health support to schools through interactive, curriculum-linked digital content.

It now works with more than 1,900 schools across the UK, offering programmes designed to help children build resilience, improve emotional regulation and develop positive mental wellbeing habits from an early age.

The investment will support myHappymind’s next phase of growth, including expansion into more schools in the UK and internationally, alongside continued product development.
