Every childhood is worth fighting for.

Together we can help children who’ve been abused to rebuild their lives. Together we can protect children at risk. And, together, we can find the best ways of preventing child abuse from ever happening.

We change the law. We visit schools across the country, helping children understand what abuse is. And, through our Childline service, we give young people a voice when no one else will listen.

But all this is only possible with your support.

Every pound raised, every petition you sign, every minute of your time, will help make sure we can fight for every childhood.
