Story

<p>Thanks for visiting&nbsp;Alex and Ben's JustGiving page.&nbsp; Instead of giving birthday presents to the boys we would love you to donate to a worthwhile national charity in need of funds.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>FamilyLives (formerly Parentline Plus)&nbsp;supports&nbsp;families online, via a helpline, and face to face.&nbsp; It&nbsp;provides free confidential support to&nbsp;parents on any issue, but&nbsp;particularly&nbsp;for&nbsp;concerns&nbsp;where parents&nbsp;are unlikely to talk to statutory services in the first instance e.g.&nbsp;abuse, teenagers, divorce, bullying, children's challenging behaviour - helping them to work out next steps.&nbsp;&nbsp;Answering 100,000 calls/year it is particulalry well used by&nbsp;those who&nbsp;are&nbsp;isolated.&nbsp; Their&nbsp;key message is&nbsp;that we all&nbsp;struggle from time to time and that&nbsp;it is a sign of strength to seek support.&nbsp;</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate.</p> <p>So please help us to reach our target and&nbsp;donate now.</p>
