I have a BIG birthday in February and to celebrate I am jumping out of a plane to raise funds for Childline (NSPCC).

There will be photo and video footage, I promise!

Sadly, I have firsthand experience of harrowing recounts from children about what is going wrong in their lives. The official statistics are that, on average, 1 in 4 children in every class will be neglected or abused before they are 18. My school colleagues will know that this is probably higher.

Essentially, all children need to find a trusted person to speak to and Childline gives a 24 hr chance for any child in the UK to be heard, supported and protected. Childline answers a call from a child every 25 seconds and it costs £4 to do this.

Thank you for any donation xx
