Fundraising for Place2Be supports our vital work to ensure no child faces mental health problems alone. But it also brings lots of opportunities to your school, nursery, or college, that all contribute to a whole-school approach to mental health.
When you choose to fundraise for Place2Be, you are:
- improving the lives of vulnerable children across the UK
- spreading mental health awareness and help us reduce the stigma around mental health
- building an inclusive and supportive school community.
How your fundraising will make a difference

could pay for a drop-in counselling session where children can refer themselves to see a mental health professional.
could pay for a child to share their thoughts and feelings in a one-to-one counselling session.
could support two children to attend their first one-to-one counselling session to get the support they need.
