Place2Be

Place2Be and the Young BAFTA Roadshow visited Beechwood Primary School in Leeds last week with the amazing Ben Shires and Shanequa Paris!

It was a fantastic day of creativity, conversation and confidence-building, inspiring pupils to share their ideas, tell their stories and dream big. 🌟

Vote for Place2Be in a Waitrose near you and help us win first place! 💫

We are participating in this year's Waitrose Community Matters Scheme across three Waitrose stores: Clerkenwell (EC1V 4DE), Bloomsbury (WC1N 1AF) and Bayswater (W2 6ES) from July to September.

Whether you are popping into Waitrose for a quick snack or a weekly shop, you can show your support and pop as many FREE green tokens as you can (as many times as you'd like) into Place2Be's box near the tills.

We could receive up to an incredible £4,500 across all three stores if we win, so make sure to cast your tokens as often as you can! 💛

There’s no purchase necessary, and every token counts. Thanks for your support and happy voting!

To round up Pride Month 2026, we want to remind everyone of the importance of continuing to celebrate and creating space for LGBTQ+ people throughout the year. 🌈

Here are some tips from Place2Be's internal Plus+ Group for creating inclusive and accepting spaces where q***r children and young people can thrive.

What happened when Place2Be piloted Connecting through Creativity in real classrooms? 🎨

We saw pupils open up through creativity, build stronger peer relationships and express feelings more confidently.

In reflection, teachers noticed a real shift in classroom atmosphere in just four sessions.
