We give children the things they need to be safe and home and confident in school, like beds, school uniforms, winter coats, shoes and laptops. We work with parents to help them find ways to improve their lives so they never need charity again.

Story

Around 60% of our income comes from our incredible supporters fundraising for us, our fantastic corporate supporters and events in our community! So, you can imagine how the current crisis is affecting our finances ...

We know that families will need us more than ever in coming months, so, if you can, wed love for you to take part in the 2.6 challenge with your family on Sunday!

Our CEO Emma Cantrell will be doing her own challenge (check out our facebook page for more information) but the options for your family to have fun and raise money are endless! 2.6 miles running/walking/cycling ... 26 press-ups ... ... 26 cartwheels ... 26 times up and down the stairs ... 26 pancake flips. Anything with a 2 and a 6 ... or, just donate £2.60 (or more, if you can!) to our campaign! If every one of our social media followers donated £2.60 it would cover our costs for over a month!
