This Children's Mental Health Week, we are shining a spotlight on the importance of children and young peoples mental health and fundraising to help more children and young people get the emotional support they need.

We know that many children and young people's mental health has been affected over the past year. According to one survey, 83% of young people with mental health conditions found that these worsened during the COVID-19 pandemic - meaning Place2Be's work has never been more needed.

The UK Student Recruitment and Outreach team at the University of Leicester will be delivering a range of activities and events throughout the week for young learners, their parents/carers and schools/colleges across the country and will also be trying to raise a bit of money, via staff donations. to support this very worthy cause.

Let's come together and work towards a future where no child has to face mental health problems alone.

Every Child Matters.
