CHALLENGE YOURSELF TO 25!

Your pupils could walk, run or cycle their way to 25km across appeal week (10th-14th Nov), complete 25 acts of kindness or come up with their own ’25’ themed challenge!

THE DIFFERENCE YOU MAKE

Your support means that we can be there for children and young people across the UK – and in your local area – helping them to be the best they can be.

Our funding is supporting over 2,200 staff that enable and form positive relationships that support children and young people in the greatest need.

A donation of £20 could help to pay for a trained volunteer to make a home visit to a child and their family who are experiencing challenges strengthening family relationships and improving wellbeing.
