A story told by Clair Buckley

1 in 5 children in the UK now live with a mental health problem or condition, with a child referred to mental health services for anxiety every three minutes. The team at BBC Children in Need is doing everything they can to keep young people’s mental health on track.

Clair Buckley shares the story of Elizabeth, a young person with anxiety supported by BBC Children in Need. Your donation can help us to fund specialist projects that help children who carry the weight of the world on their shoulders.
