Charity needs your support

- Katy Scott, NSPCC Supporter Fundraisin­g Manager

The NSPCC supports thousands of children across the North East and the rest of the UK every week.

Our practition­ers support children and families through difficult times, our Childline counsellor­s help young people when they feel they have nowhere else to turn, while our Helpline staff offer support to adults concerned about the safety of children. Locally, our campaigns teams and

Schools Service staff and volunteers are working in communitie­s near you to share vital messaging to adults and children which can help keep them safer and improve their lives.

Many are surprised that the NSPCC relies on public donations for around 90 per cent of its funding, which makes the work of our fundraisin­g staff and volunteers absolutely essential to continue our vital work.

We understand that with the cost of living crisis making life financiall­y difficult for many across the country, people may feel unable to support the NSPCC through a regular charitable donation. However, there is an alternativ­e. By leaving a gift in your will to the NSPCC, you can help to share the most powerful gift with future generation­s – the gift of a safe and happy childhood.

Your gift will help us stop abuse, neglect and exploitati­on. It will fund Childline and Helpline, education programmes in schools here in the North East, and help us invest in community projects that support families facing tough times, equipping them with the skills to nurture happier childhoods.

Details on how to leave a gift in your will to the NSPCC and ensure we continue to be there for children for years to come are available at www. nspcc.org.uk/support-us
