Break the cycle campaign
Many children in the UK suffer deprivation, neglect and abuse every day. This can entrap the child within a cycle of events that can quickly spiral out of control. Problems at home or educational difficulties can lead a child to substance misuse and even crime.
This cycle will keep repeating itself until someone stops it.
Overcoming what is often years of disadvantage cannot be done overnight. Yet our work and intervention consistently demonstrates that we are able to reach out to such children, empowering them with the support to turn their lives around for good.
