Childlife

One gift to Childlife supports four charities providing care and support for children, young people and their families.

Throughout the UK, thousands of children and young people are facing challenges in their lives as a result of illness, disability or social circumstances. Childlife helps to improve the lives of children and young people by raising funds for the work of its four member charities.

Our partner charities supporting children are Ataxia UK, Acorns Children’s Hospice, National Deaf Children’s Society and the National Children’s Bureau. Together they reach many thousands of families every year, providing a range of direct services, information and advice.

£5 a month for a year provides support to a family to enable their deaf child to obtain the education and welfare benefits they are entitled to.

£6 a month could enable the NCB to provide 12 young people with practical information on a range of vital health issues, such as the risk of drug misuse.

£7.50 a month helps Ataxia UK to make grants for a child with ataxia towards a computer, which helps them retain their independence, contact with friends and the wider world.

£15 a month could provide 12 hours of loving care for a life limited child at Acorn’s Children’s Hospice.
