Children across the UK are struggling with mental health problems, family relationships and bullying, feeling they have nowhere to turn. Many are feeling lonely, isolated and suicidal.

The UK statistics are shocking:

1 in 5 children have suffered abuse

1 in 5 children have been exposed to domestic violence

1 in 10 children have been neglected

Childline is a free, private and confidential service where children and young people can talk about anything thats on their mind. Whatever the problem, whenever help is needed, Childline is there but each call costs £4.

Lets get behind the Matalan challenge to raise much needed funds and get active.

Thank you everyone for your support!
