Children’s Mental Health Week – Dress Down
What?
Children’s Mental Health Week – Let’s Connect Take part in ‘Dress to Express‘ to support Place2Be, a charity who raise vital funds to help more children and young people get the emotional support they need.
When?
Wednesday 8th February
How?
Donate to Place2Be and come to nursery or school dressed to express yourself. For example, if you have a bright and bubbly personality you may choose to wear bright and whacky clothing. Remember, they don’t have to match…!

Why?
Place2Be believe every child should have easy access to mental health support whenever they need it. They create safe spaces in schools where students can open up without pressure, arming them with emotional skills to help deal with everything life throws at them. As a charity, Place2Be rely heavily on the generosity and support of the community to continue their essential work in the future and to reach children before it’s too late.
