Giving Tuesday 2018

No child should have to face their worries and anxieties alone.

That is the mission behind our newest charity partner Place2Be, taking part in Giving Tuesday for the first time in 2018.

The charity, which works to improve the emotional wellbeing of pupils, families and teachers, will be using the Giving Tuesday platform to raise awareness at a time when so many children and young people are facing mental health issues.

The charity is hoping to reach 100 more children and will be asking their supporters to donate as little as £7, a minimal amount that can give one more child the chance to talk through and find ways to cope in difficult times.

Speaking about their decision to join as a partner, Vanessa Boyle, Individual Giving Manager at Place2Be, said:

“The global campaign is a great opportunity to raise awareness and support more vulnerable children throughout the UK. We want to reach out to more children and this Giving Tuesday we are asking our new and old supporters to help us get to our target.”
