Trusts and foundations

We believe that children should not have to face mental health problems alone, so we are incredibly grateful to the trusts and foundations whose long-term generosity has enabled us to reach more pupils, families and school staff across the UK.

For over 30 years, Place2Be has provided mental health services in schools. Support from trusts and foundations has helped us to:

expand our mental health support in schools. Read about our support
build the expertise of our counsellors. Read about our qualifications
train teachers in mental health. Read about our Mental Health Champions programmes

Unrestricted funding

Unrestricted funding is invaluable because it allows us to develop our strategy and remain flexible to the changing needs of our school communities.

We want to say a big thank you to our unrestricted funders including: The People’s Postcode Lottery, Pears Foundation, Bernard Lewis Family Charitable Trust and The Peter Cundill Foundation.

“School has been hard for me, but after coming to Place2Be all the difficult times have got easier. It’s nice to have private time in a busy school to talk about anything you want.” Pupil supported by Place2Be

Our Pioneers

Our Pioneers represent our donors who have had the most significant impact on Place2Be’s work. Their support, trust and belief in what we do have enabled us to make ground-breaking progress in developing and refining our work in schools when supporting children, their parents and teachers.
