About Us
Who we are, what we do, and who we help
As a result of the tremendous support we receive from supporters across the UK, we're able to continue to fund fantastic projects which aim to help make positive changes to the lives of disadvantaged children and young people right here in the UK.
The 2008 Appeal was a fantastic success raising a record breaking £38 million despite the current economic conditions, which is a real tribute to the generosity and understanding of our supporters. So far this year we have been able to allocate over £26 million in two grant rounds to over 700 projects dedicated to helping improve the lives of disadvantaged children and young people. You can find out which projects are being funded in your area by checking our project map.
Below you can watch the clips referred to in the lesson plans and the Appeal films from the 2008 Appeal to understand more about some of the situations children and young people have to cope with and how your money has helped them.
