I usually only post stuff about work on Twitter. But this is probably the most important thing I will ever tweet and it's very very personal. Please donate if you can, and/ or share the story about my inspirational, brave, beautiful little boy ❤️ #Rycroft

Catherine and Andy have been friends and supporters of our work CLPE for many years. Right now we want to wrap our arms around them and we are sure our whole community will too. Please read their story and, if you can, donate to support the campaign in memory of lovely Rycroft

This #VolunteersWeek, we're highlighting our amazing grantees The Kids Network volunteer programme. 💜 They connect children with volunteer mentors, who help boost their confidence and equip them with the skills for a brighter future.✨ Find out more: shorturl.at/93kyH

It’s #VolunteersWeek! Our amazing volunteers The Kids Network make a significant impact on children across #London through dedicated #mentoring. 🧡 Thank you to all our volunteers for your commitment and passion!

Join us in making a difference over the next couple of weeks with The Big Give where your donations are DOUBLED thanks to @Childhoodtrust and we can reach twice the amount of #LittleLondoners who need our services.💪🌈✨ #MyFutureMatters donate.biggive.org/campaign/a0569…

Swap 1 coffee to change a child's life. Really, that's all it takes!☕️ Any Big Give donations are doubled by @Childhoodtrust until 18th June🤯 That means even giving the amount you would usually spend on a coffee could fund an entire hour of free #mentalhealth mentoring.⚡️

With your support we can have DOUBLE the impact and ensure that #LittleLondoners who need our support most are provided with weekly 1-2-1 mentoring sessions to build their confidence, resilience, and aspiration for a brighter future #MyFutureMatters ☀ donate.biggive.org/campaign/a0569…

The stats speak for themselves. We are so proud to say that 100% of the children we worked with and mentored in 2023 had an improved wellbeing by the end of their journey with us. EVERY single child benefited with a positive role model creating #mentormagic and resilience.

Children under 11 in #London know what #knifecrime is. 😳 This is a reality. As much as we can try to protect our children from some harsh realities of the world, some things cannot be hidden forever. Knife crime, gangs and grooming are real issues on the streets.

This mentor was so proud that her mentor opened up to her, and so are we! Donate so we can be there for more #LittleLondoners⬇️ donate.biggive.org/campaign/a0569… 🚨 All donations automatically DOUBLED by @Childhoodtrust in our Big Give campaign. 🌟 1 donation = Twice the impact 🌟
