“The children have thoroughly enjoyed this opportunity and it is now part of an activity we offer at lunchtimes.”

Children’s Mental Health Week, founded by Place2Be, took place from February 5, until February 11, and it aims to empower, equip and give children and young people a voice to discuss their mental health.

John Reddington, managing director at David Wilson Homes East Midlands, said: “We hope that by donating these friendship bracelets, we have encouraged the children at Corby Glen Community Primary School to look out for one another.

“Children’s Mental Health Week is such an important initiative, and we relish the opportunity to reach out to schools within our community and provide support for such a deserving cause.”
