Daniel became ambassador for the charity back in October 2017, after releasing a video where he opened up about his depression.
The creator then went on to take part in the #helloyellow campaign on World Mental Health Day, before launching the special range of merchandise in October 2018.
As a charity, Young Minds aim to improve the emotional health and well-being of young people and children in the UK.
More information about the organisation and their projects can be found on their website, along with Daniel’s role as ambassador.
