What are we doing?

We're taking on our very first marathon to raise money for Place2Be. We got into running last year, after being inspired by the amazing atmosphere in town on marathon day - we wanted to get involved and though we are definitely regretting it since we've started training, we're excited to support such an important charity.

Who are Place2Be?

As the UK's leading school-based mental health charity, Place2Be provides vital support to children, families, and school staff when they need it most. With 1 in 5 children and young people now experiencing a probable mental health problem, it's more important than ever to ensure that every child has easy access to mental health support. Whenever they need it. By donating to our fundraiser, you can help make a real difference in the lives of children who are struggling with their mental health.

Why are we doing this? (a good question)

We both work with young people, and see the impact that charities like Place2Be can have. Their support can genuinely change outcomes for children and young people, giving them a space to understand their emotions and to feel heard. One of Laura's placement schools in teacher training worked with Place2Be, so she has seen the difference they make first-hand.

We're proud to be able to run this race for them.

Please donate today and help ensure no child has to face mental health problems alone.
