AS we approach the festive season I would like to ask your readers to do something amazing this Christmas to support the vital work of the NSPCC by requesting a letter from Santa.
We’ve teamed up with Santa himself to send personalised letters all the way from Lapland.
All we ask in return is a donation to help us be there for children, whatever their worries.
£5 could buy paints to help a child who has been abused to express their feelings and begin to feel like themselves again.
£8 could cover the cost for our volunteer counsellors to answer two calls to Childline – in 2017/18 our volunteers handled 5,600 counselling sessions with children in Merseyside.
Your donations will help our fight for every childhood.
Abuse ruins childhoods, but it can be prevented. That’s why we’re here.
