Right now, one in four children are living in poverty. Poverty makes children and their families feel like they don't belong. But together, we can show them they do.
Can you imagine being a parent who can't give their child breakfast before school? You skip dinner, so your child can eat. Standing in the playground, you watch other families head to the cinema. You make a den at home and say that your living room cinema is just as good, so they don't feel like they are missing out.
Imagine being a child and feeling like you don't belong anywhere. In your group of friends, in your classes when your stomach rumbles. At home, feeling chilly but telling mum that being cosy under the covers is the way you like it.
Your donation will help build brighter futures for children in poverty. Here’s what your money could do:
- £60 could help cover the costs of a food shop to keep a family fed for a week.
- £100 could treat a group of five children to a trip out to see what other opportunities and activities exist beyond their normal world.
- £200 could cover one month's energy costs for a family struggling to make ends meet.
- £750 could pay for warm coats and shoes for 15 children.
