ChildLine is the UK's free and confidential, 24 hour helpline for children in distress or danger. Trained volunteer counsellors comfort, advise, support and protect children and young people who may feel they have nowhere else to turn. Children call ChildLine about a wide range of problems, but the most common problems are abuse (both sexual and physical), bullying, serious family tensions, worries about friends' welfare and teenage pregnancy. Children and young people can call ChildLine about anything – no problem is too big or too small. ChildLine is a service provided by the NSPCC

Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit GIA's JustGiving page.</p> <p>GIA were looking for charities to support in 2012 and the Gherkin challenge seemed particularly appropriate as GIA worked on the Gherkin planning and development. It is linked to our work, it is a good fitness theme in the Olympics year and is a charirty that struck a chord with staff.</p> <p>So 12 GIA ladies and gents will climb the 1037 steps of the Gherkin at varying speeds but always with the same enthusiasm and perseverence - as it will be hard !! Well done them for volunteering !</p> <p>Fiona at GIA</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 - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p>
