The Child's Voice Appeal

Why we launched the appeal

The Child’s Voice Appeal was launched because we needed to expand the NSPCC Helpline to protect more children who were too young, vulnerable or unable to speak out for themselves. Children were plucking up the courage to phone ChildLine but weren’t able to get through to a counsellor. We weren’t online where children needed us to be for them.

What we’ve achieved so far

Thanks to your donations and fundraising, we’ve raised over half of the £50 million Child’s Voice Appeal target. This means we’ve been able to answer more than one million calls from children and young people who needed help through ChildLine, and over 50,000 from adults who were worried about a child through the NSPCC Helpline.

Why we still need your help

But there is still more work to be done. To protect even more children in the UK from abuse and neglect we urgently need more funding. Your donation will help us recruit and train more counsellors to answer more cries for help. We want to be there whenever and wherever children need us.
