Story
<p><em><span style="color: #3366ff;"><strong>We are proud to be supporting local childrens charity <a href="mailto:SAFE@LAST">SAFE@LAST</a> that play an essential role in helping vulnerable children aged 16 years old and under at risk through running away within the South Yorkshire region. They work in Barnsley, Doncaster, Rotherham, Sheffield, North East Derbyshire and North Nottinghamshire.</strong></span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="color: #3366ff;"><strong>Unfortutely, there are many reasons why children feel they have no choice but to runaway and flee violence, abuse and bullying or because they have been thrown out from home.</strong></span></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #3366ff;"><a href="mailto:SAFE@LAST">SAFE@LAST</a> provide a range of highly regarded services including the only childrens refuge for runaway children in England - there are just 2 bed spaces and <a href="mailto:SAFE@LAST">SAFE@LAST</a> provides them locally.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #3366ff;">One of their key services is the 24 hour freephone childrens helpline that can be accessed via the telephone, text message or web chat. This service has been running since 2004. As its an exisiting service, it is difficult to seek grant funding to ensure it continues long into the future so therefore the charity needs to raise voluntary income in order to fund this vital service. By supporting <a href="mailto:SAFE@LAST">SAFE@LAST</a>, we can help ensure they can continue to fund their range of important services, like the helpline, in order to keep local children safe.</span></p>
