Story

This year, we putting together a MSS Citi Team of 70 colleagues to run the Royal Parks Half Marathon in London on Sunday, 13 October 2019.
As this is our main EMEA MSS Fundraising Event for 2019 for our London Charity Partner, we’re encouraging MSS colleagues to support their colleagues' fundraising efforts.

One in eight children has a diagnosable mental health problem such as anxiety or depression – that’s three children in every classroom. 75% of lifetime mental health problems start before the age of 18. In spite of this only 6% of the mental health bill is spent on children. It is evident that children’s mental health support is an area which is too often overlooked.

Place2Be seek to redress this imbalance by providing mental health support to children when they need it most. They know that if we act early we can prevent mental health problems from having a lasting impact on children for the rest of their lives. Their services include school-based counselling for children, in-depth training programmes for school teachers and training for child mental health professionals.
