Make kids’ lives better in Just One Day

Dear Editor

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of your readers in South Lanarkshire who have supported the work of NSPCC Scotland during the last year.

Without the backing of local people the NSPCC would not be able to help abused children rebuild their lives, or be there for parents who desperately need advice and support.

As we move into 2015, I would like to appeal to your readers to make a very special kind of New Year’s resolution for NSPCC Scotland.

‘Just One Day’is a call for people to come forward and volunteer some time to support our work – even if people can only spare one day, it will be a massive help.

There are many different ways that people can volunteer their time including becoming an NSPCC ChildLine Schools’Service volunteer; becoming a ChildLine helpline counsellor; getting involved in an event by setting up stalls or taking photographs, or cheering on NSPCC participants in a sporting race or activity.

Abuse ruins childhood, but it can be prevented. That’s why the NSPCC is here in Scotland. That’s what drives our work, and that’s why – as long as there’s abuse the NSPCC will fight for every childhood.

Please join us in the fight for every childhood by volunteering some time to support NSPCC Scotland, whether you can spare a day a week or just one day.

To find out more call 0141 420 3816 or log on to nspcc.org.uk/ volunteer.
