One in six children and young people now have a diagnosable mental health issue. That’s five children in every classroom with a condition like depression or anxiety. Place2Be is the UK's leading school-based mental health charity, providing support to children, families and school-based staff when they need it most. Please help me support Place2Be’s vital work, and together we can make a real difference to children's mental health and ensure that children don’t have to face mental health problems alone.

I loved cycling through the Covid pandemic and it has become part of my everyday life. But cycling the 55 mile distance from London to Brighton in a day will be my longest ever bike ride ! I am used to a gentle river route along the Thames, so the uphill sections en route to Brighton will be a real challenge. Please cheer me on, and think of the brave youngsters going through their own mental health challenges and together with Place2Be we can help them along their journey to reaching their goals. 

Many thanks! Laura
