In September a team of 15 colleagues will be completing a challenging five-day trek of the Great Wall of China with an aim of collectively raising £67,500 for Place2Be.

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 their in-depth training programmes.
