Place2Be is a children’s mental health charity with over 25 years’ experience working with pupils, families and staff in UK schools.

We provide mental health support in schools through one-to-one and group counselling using tried and tested methods backed by research. We also offer expert training and professional qualifications.

Place2Be's vision is for all children and young people to have the support they need to build lifelong coping skills and thrive.

We will make this happen by:

• Providing high-quality mental health services in schools, backed by research
• Building confidence and knowledge in schools to promote a better understanding of mental health and wellbeing
• Building a mental health workforce that can support children and young people
• Raising awareness of children and young people’s mental health everywhere, from the government to the general public.

I am planning to walk over 1000 miles in the calendar year 2022. I aim to raise over £2500 to provide much needed funds to support children's mental health. Please help by donating what you can. I plan to provide regular updates on my journey through this new year.
