Every child deserves the chance to start school with
confidence.


But for thousands of children living in poverty, the summer holidays are a time
of anxiety – not fun. Without essentials like school shoes, uniforms, or even a
bed to sleep in, many are at risk of falling further behind.

This summer, you can help change that. By buying an essential item through our
virtual shop, you’re giving a child more than just a backpack or a book –
you’re giving them hope, dignity, and the opportunity to learn.

We provide direct financial support through our Chances for Children grants, enabling children to access essential items and activities that promote their wellbeing and educational success. Our mission is to give children in crisis a chance for change, supporting them in overcoming the barriers created by financial hardship. With your support, we can continue to make a positive impact on the lives of children and young people across the UK, ensuring they have the resources they need to flourish.
