About our campaign

Having someone to talk to about worries and feelings can help to protect children’s mental health. Meaningful, everyday conversations with people they trust can help children feel safe, valued and understood, and get ahead of serious mental health issues developing.

Yet a new Censuswide survey, on behalf of BBC Children in Need, has found almost a quarter (24%) of children regularly keep their worries to themselves because they don’t know who to talk to or find it hard to explain how they feel.

We can all make a difference by checking in and listening to the children we care for.

That’s why Pudsey has chosen to do something he’s never done before – talk. He is using his voice to encourage all of us to be someone a child can talk to.

Our Mental Health Hub is full of free, easy resources to get you started.
