Champions for Children is raising funds to support a London-wide network of local childrens charities to provide support services to vulnerable and disadvantaged children following the end of lockdown measures.

Champions for Children will help to prevent the closure of vital projects, and in turn, effectively assist the growing number of already disadvantaged children whose suffering, both physical and mental is exacerbated by the current crisis.

Champions for Children directly addresses the need for safe, educational, and engaging activities for children who have suffered from hunger, isolation and a lack of any educatational opportunity during the lockdown due to poverty.
