Filling the gaps in our social care system
Profoundly impacted by the pandemic, this generation of children and young people is struggling. The systems meant to support them are stretched thin. Long waiting lists mean that countless vulnerable children are without the help they need.
With your support, we catch those who might otherwise slip through the cracks. Whether they’re facing their first challenge or a long-term struggle, whether their needs are simple or complex, we’re there – no diagnosis required.
