Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

***UPDATE***

Donations have been so generous, I've had to increase the target amount from 400 to 600 to 700. So, if I get a cool 1,000, I'll keep the Mohawk for a full week and share photos!

Plan is to have a dyed Mohawk by next Monday April 27 if I raise enough money for Childline. If I raise enough money, I’ll have a Mohawk (I’ll need to dye it as nobody wants to see a grey Mohawk!)

More and more children and young people have been turning to Childline online, where they can access support without the fear of being overheard.
Childline has noticed an increase of 25% in children and young people contacting the service online and an increase of 143% in users of the Childline.ie site.
Quote from ISPCC Childline Chief Executive John Church

"Life as we know it has been put on hold for now - and so have the vital fundraising activities on which Childline depends for its continued existence. But child abuse does not stop in a pandemic. Nor does neglect. Nor do mental health difficulties or self-harm. In many cases, children and young people across the country are experiencing these issues more acutely now than ever before.
"Any child or young person in Ireland can contact Childline at any time, to talk about any issue which might be on their mind. Childline will continue to be here for them 24 hours a day, every day - but only if the service receives public support at this critical time. Childline relies on donations for 90 per cent of its funding. You can help to make a difference for children. Your support will be a part of every contact Childline answers. Thank you."

Would hugely appreciate any little bit you can give for such a great cause.
