Making a difference

Across the country, young people’s needs are being ignored. Trapped in poverty, facing poor mental health and abuse both on and offline, too many only receive help once they reach crisis point. We’re working to change that. By standing alongside young people when they need us most, we provide lasting support and campaign for the changes that will improve young lives. 

Growing up, Paige experienced trauma no child should ever face. When she was referred to The Children’s Society, she was frightened and vulnerable. With the right support, she was able to rebuild her confidence and look forward to the future. Today, she is thriving at school and enjoying life.

In their own words

When young people want to tell their story, we listen. These young people still believe in a better tomorrow. They know they can break free from those who hurt them, have a happy home life, feel better over time.

Often their stories aren't easy to tell, but they tell them. Because they know sharing their story will help them and others like them.
