800 minutes, 800 chances for children living with abuse.
With your support we can help children heal from trauma and end cycles of violence.
Physical: 800 Challenge
Last year, we helped 800 children who were victims of violence at home. With your help, we want to support even more this time around. Run, jump, skip, swim, dance or do any physical activity for 800 minutes during the month of June. Thats around 25 minutes per day!
Raise over £50 for us, and we will send you a free TLC t-shirt in the post.
Why support TLC?
1 in 7 UK children have lived with domestic abuse.
Domestic abuse can impact young people far beyond childhood. It can lead to trauma that lasts a lifetime.
By supporting children who have experienced abuse, we allow them to come to terms with their trauma. We help break cycles of violence so children do not learn unhealthy behaviours and use them against other people.
We provide free counselling sessions to children who have witnessed violence, and free behaviour change courses to children exhibiting violent tendencies.
We are a local charity, with proud Northern roots, and have a firm understanding of the issues that impact children within our community. The children we have worked with say our support has improved their confidence and self-esteem, and transformed negative thoughts into positive and productive ones.
