Donate to a child in need

Children living in poverty urgently need your help.

The high cost of living will continue to bite in the coming months. That means children going to school hungry, parents struggling to pay their bills and put food on the table, and families finding it difficult to afford essential items like beds and bedding.

With your support you can help change a childhood and a life.

Thanks to the donations we’ve received, we’ve been able to respond quickly to what was a crisis situation. The support that has been given had not just a positive impact in young people’s lives, but also has sent out a message of hope in the midst of an economic crisis.
