Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.   

The mental health consequences of the COVID pandemic are immense and will be long-lasting. This comes at a time when charities are struggling to raise funds and NHS services are under extreme pressure.

This year, more than ever, we all need to take time to look after ourselves. The importance of exercise for enhancing wellbeing, increasing mental alertness, energy and positive mood is well known. With the nights drawing in, I knew I needed something to motivate me to get outside when it’s dark (and possibly also wet, windy and cold!!).

I (Claire Claessen), my daughter Ella, and many colleagues from KTN - Dana Heldt, Sheena Hindocha and Emma Bortnik so far - hopefully to be soon joined by others) have signed up to walk / run from Land’s End to John O’Groats (virtually) over the course of the coming year.  We will get our motivation from raising money for Place2Be.

Place2Be provides child counselling and mental health support in schools, including primary, secondary and all-through schools across England, Scotland and Wales. Hands on 1:1 and group support to children as well as training for teachers and other mental health champions
