Lorna Allison is raising money for Place2Be
Story
I’m really excited to support Place2Be by running the Berlin marathon this September. By doing something I love I hope my fundraising efforts will make a real difference to children and their carers, across the UK.
Having been a Mental Health First Aid volunteer at my place of work, I really value the benefit of de-stigmatising mental health by being open and talking about mental wellbeing as much as possible.
If I hit my fundraising target of £1,100 that could give as many as 62 children the chance to book their own appointment to get help from a Place2Be professional about things like anxiety or self-harm.
One in five children and young people have a diagnosable mental health issue. That’s six children in every classroom. A huge number when you really think about it
Place2Be is the UK's leading school-based mental health charity. They provide support to children, families and school-based staff and I’d love it if you could help me support Place2Be’s vital work. Together we can make a real difference to children's mental health and ensure that children don’t have to face their problems alone.
