Help us make life lighter for children

Right now we are only able to fund 1 in 8 organisations who ask us for help.

Children across the UK are facing greater challenges than ever, with mental health conditions such as anxiety & depression rising, high levels of poverty leading to inequality & lack of opportunity.

Many children are simply carrying a load that’s too heavy to manage alone, so this year, we are asking you to help make life lighter for children.

What’s happening

We believe that every child should have the chance to thrive and be the best they can be
