The Place2Be

What is it?

The Place2Be is a charity that gives young children a space where they can express their feelings through talking, creative activities and play. It helps children to share their emotions and fears and to develop self-esteem and coping skills.

What does it do?

The Place2Be helps those children at primary level deal with problems which otherwise may become much more serious and entrenched by the time they reach secondary school.

What do others think?

"Provisions such as The Place2Talk and The Place2Be are powerful tools that help to bring about pupils' very good behaviour." (OFSTED report Keyworth School 2003.)

BT supports the work of The Place2Be, established in 1994 and today currently supporting troubled, unhappy children in around 113 schools across the UK.
