Right now, nearly one in four children in the UK are growing up in poverty. But for them, hunger is more than just food.
Many are growing up without the stability they need. In cold and unsafe accommodation, often with no safe place to sleep and without the sense of security every child deserves.
With your support, we can work in communities all across the UK. In Family Hubs, local services, and trusted spaces where children can feel safe and supported.
When Nadine needed help, your support meant we could be there easing the pressure, offering practical support, and helping her family feel more stable and secure during a difficult time.
Together, we can help children and young people feel safer, happier, healthier and more hopeful by standing alongside families and creating safe, supportive environments where they can begin to thrive again.
We’ve been changing childhoods and lives for over 150 years. And with your support today, we can continue to be there for children whenever they need us.
Your donation won’t be restricted to a particular project but will go to where it's needed most, helping us support children and young people no matter what they are facing.
Keeping your child safe at home
We know it’s not nice to think about, but accidents in the home happen and can be devastating when they do, particularly if they involve your child. By taking simple steps, you can significantly reduce risks and create a safer environment for your child.
