Citi's Great Wall of China Trek - Signature Challenge 2019 · 23 September 2019

Story

Hey team, thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. 

In September this year, 15 colleagues and I will spend 5 days trekking the Great Wall of China with the aim of raising £72,000 for Place2Be, an incredible charity helping improve mental health in young students. Past fundraising experience has taught me that the more unpleasant the task, the more generous and caring people are, so in addition to the trek, I'll be undertaking a series of bike rides, runs and various other shenanigans all to encourage you lovely people to help me reach the target amount.

Place2Be provides emotional and therapeutic services in primary and secondary schools, building children's resilience through talking, creative work and play. Place2Be provides children’s mental health services in 294 primary and secondary schools, reaching a total school population of 142,000 pupils, helping them to cope with wide-ranging and often complex social issues including bullying, bereavement, domestic violence, family breakdown, neglect and trauma and last year 232 schools took part in our in-depth training programmes. 

Any help is much appreciated
