"Children are our future, and we owe it to them to give them the best possible start in life... Supporting their mental health early gives them the tools, confidence and resilience they need to navigate life’s challenges and ultimately thrive."
What began in 2014 with a charity cycle from Venice to Rome became an 11‑year mission: @_jobradshaw ’s Seven Summits challenge, completed last March after climbing mountains on every continent and raising over £45,000 for Place2Be.
Driven by her belief that children’s mental health matters more than ever, Jo continues to champion the cause, recently completing the London Marathon and already prepping for her next adventure: the Everest Marathon!
If you're inspired by Jo's story and want to find out how you can take part, visit the link in our bio 🔗

Place2Be and Young @BAFTA spent the day with @sacredheartschool_islington pupils who weren’t afraid to step forward, show off their talents and share their creativity with confidence last week. We were all in awe of their skills, enthusiasm and self‑belief!
🗨️ "Children of different ages and abilities worked together to express and communicate their ideas in an inviting space. Thank you for supporting the school community!"
The visit was hosted by the brilliant @MissKiaMayPegg and @BenShires , with special guest @jenpringleofficial from Milkshake!, who encouraged pupils to keep developing their talents and see where their creativity could take them. 💛
