We want to say a HUGE thank you to the hundreds of thousands of people who took part in Children's Mental Health Week 2025.

Whether you fundraised or got involved in your own way, you have helped to transform the lives of children and young people.

Make sure you pay in your fundraising to Place2Be if you haven't already! Every penny and pound you raise goes towards providing mental health support to children and young people.

The theme was 'Know Yourself, Grow Yourself', and was about encouraging children and young people across the UK to embrace self-awareness and explore what it means for them.

We partnered with Here4You, supported by The Walt Disney Company!

Place2Be’s Children’s Mental Health Week 2025 joined forces with Here4You to explore the importance of self-awareness and expressing emotions.

Here4You is supported by The Walt Disney Company, and through the characters of Pixar’s Inside Out and Inside Out 2, the resources encourage children and young people across the UK to discover how getting to know who they are can help them build resilience, grow and develop.

Throughout our resources and website, you might've seen some of your favourite Inside Out 2 characters, helping us explore our theme of Know Yourself, Grow Yourself.
