It is with great pleasure that Brooklands Museum announce that Drive it Day 2022 will continue to support the NSPCC’s Childline service along with Ride it Day for the Motorcycle Community on 24^th April 2022.

This will be the FBHVC’s second year of partnering with Childline after such a successful first year and raising enough funds to cover the cost of running Childline for 24 hours, thanks to all the associated clubs and museums across the UK.

During the past 2 years, through the pandemic, the NSPCC’s Childline service has become even more significant as a vital lifeline for those children who feel they have no one else to turn to, holding 19,000 counselling sessions a month since lockdown began. Over half of all conversations related to mental and emotional health (including suicidal thoughts and feelings of self-harm) and more children under 11 contacting the service.

As children adjust to returning to school and the effects of the pandemic continue to be felt, Childline will continue to be a vital resource during these times of uncertainty, but they need our help to fund these vital resources.

It costs just £4 to answer a contact from a child or young person reaching out for help, you can make a donation here or head to Brooklands to take part in Drive it Day or Ride it Day to raise funds for Childline – and all support will be gratefully received and hugely appreciated.
