Findel and Place2Be Partner for Children’s Mental Health Week 2025

26 May 2025

Findel partnered with Place2Be for Children’s Mental Health Week 2025 to help schools across the UK access vital mental health resources. Their support inspired thousands of children and young people to explore the theme 'Know Yourself, Grow Yourself' and begin important conversations about wellbeing.

Overview of the Partnership

Place2Be was proud to partner with Findel for Children’s Mental Health Week 2025. Based in Greater Manchester, Findel is a leading supplier of educational resources to schools across the UK and is delivering a year-long charity partnership with us through The Findel Foundation, with a mission to lead positive change for children and their education.

Recognising the vital importance of mental health in children's development, Findel joined forces with Place2Be to help promote this year's theme, 'Know Yourself, Grow Yourself' Their commitment to supporting children’s wellbeing made them an ideal partner, and together, we worked to ensure that even more schools could access helpful mental health resources during the week.

How Findel Supported Children’s Mental Health Week 2025

Through their generous support, Findel enabled us to print and distribute 582 Children's Mental Health Week packs, which provided thousands of children with access to resources designed to boost emotional wellbeing and encourage healthy conversations about mental health. These packs played a crucial role in helping schools across the UK engage students with the 'Know Yourself, Grow Yourself' theme and helped children understand themselves better to nurture their emotional growth.

In addition to sponsoring the packs, Findel’s staff embraced the spirit of the week by launching various fundraising initiatives. Their ‘Clocking Miles, Raising Smiles’ campaign saw colleagues walk, run, and cycle impressive distances — including an awe-inspiring cycle ride across the Dubai desert — to raise funds for Place2Be. To further encourage meaningful conversations around mental health at home, Findel also created special activity packs for their colleagues’ children to help families engage with this important topic together.

“At Findel, we're incredibly proud to have partnered with Place2Be as sponsors of this year’s Children’s Mental Health Week. Supporting the wellbeing of children is a cause close to our hearts, and through our funded resource packs and colleague-led fundraising efforts, we’ve been able to help schools create more positive mental health environments. It’s been inspiring to see the impact we can make together.” Claire Gleave, Head of Findel Foundation

Outcome of the Partnership

The partnership between Findel and Place2Be during this year’s Children’s Mental Health Week has had a lasting impact. Thanks to Findel’s support, more children and young people could access our bespoke resources, which ensured discussions around emotional wellbeing reached classrooms and homes across the country.

We are thankful to Findel for their dedication to children's wellbeing and look forward to future collaborations to promote positive mental health in schools across the UK.

“It's been incredible to see the innovative and exciting ways Findel have engaged with their staff and families throughout Children’s Mental Health Week to promote the theme of ‘Know Yourself, Grow Yourself’, and fantastic to support them through this partnership. Their generous donation covering the Children’s Mental Health Week packs meant more people were able to access our bespoke resources and promote healthy discussions about mental health at school, home, and beyond, and we are so grateful for their support.” Jessicca Kateryniuk-Smith, Community and Challenge Events Manager at Place2Be
