At the age of 54 you would think that I had more sense than to put myself through the training and the pain of a bike ride from Blackpool to London.
However, as the current president of the National Association of Headteachers (NAHT) I chose Place2Be as our charity partner for the year. This was because if you work in schools and have done for some time, you will have seen the growth in children’s mental health needs at a time when resources either from the NHS or in school budgets have dwindled. It is a perfect storm.
Place2Be provides emotional and therapeutic services in primary and secondary schools, building children’s resilience through talking, creative work and play. Their work has a phenomenal impact.
