Tender is a charity working to prevent abuse and violence in the lives of children and young people. Right now, many are isolated from their usual support networks, or navigating their relationships entirely online. And, once they return to schools, they will need more support than ever to build healthy relationships that are free from abuse.

We have launched our #10WordLoveStories campaign to help keep people connected during lockdown, while raising money to help vulnerable children who need our support.

Our patron, actress Olivia Colman, is here to explain how you can help:

With many of us separated from our loved ones during the Covid-19 pandemic, finding ways to share, stay connected and be kind to each other, is more important than ever.

We are challenging you to...

WRITE a love story in only 10 words...

SHARE it on social media, using the hashtags #10ForTender and #10WordLoveStories . You can share your story as a tweet, a photo, or even a video - get creative...

DONATE £10, or whatever you can afford, to Tender via JustGiving  

NOMINATE more - maybe 10! - people to join in so we can spread the love!

By taking part, you will help us empower thousands of young people to have healthy relationships and stay safe: a generation whose love stories never have to involve abuse.
