Story
The Childrens Society supports the most vulnerable young people facing abuse, neglect and exploitation. We reach over 11,000 young people each year through our local and national services and effect change for more than 4 million children through lobbying the government and changing the systems which prevent young people from thriving.
Children and young people come to The Childrens Society when they have low self-esteem. When theyre living in families that cant afford the next meal, the next size up in school uniform. Or when there's no-one else to lean on. We support young people who are looking after mum, dad, or their siblings more than they bargained for. Or who have been taken advantage of and find themselves being criminally and sexually exploited. Children, young people and families come when they need someone to talk to, for therapy, sometimes just a bite to eat. To help with their court case, to talk to their mum, social services, their teacher, to sometimes not talk at all. The Childrens Society work with children and young people for as long as it takes and were with them no matter what.
Your funding will help these young people receive the support they so desperately need.
