Jones says 20% of draw profits will go to mental health charities as he urges young people to spend more time outdoors.

  • Hollywood A-lister Vinnie Jones is partnering with prize draw platform Ventus to support mental health charities while criticizing 'addictive' technology for fueling children's mental health struggles.

  • Supporting young people is important, Vinnie said, emphasizing that older generations have a responsibility to encourage children to reconnect with nature and address mental health struggles.
