That’s 550 children that they wouldn’t be able to answer without the support of people like us. The NSPCC receives around 90% of their funding from generous supporters.[/p][p][b]£3[/b] could pay for our [url=https://www.nspcc.org.uk/preventing-abuse/our-services/working-with-schools/speak-out-stay-safe-service/]Speak out Stay safe[/url] programme to reach 1 primary school child, giving them the knowledge to protect themselves from abuse[/p][p][b]£4[/b] could pay for 1 of our trained volunteer counsellors to answer a child's call for help to Childline[/p][p][b]£5[/b] could cover the cost of answering a call to the NSPCC helpline[/p][p][b]£25[/b] could pay for a trained practitioner to deliver 1 hour of [url=https://www.nspcc.org.uk/services-and-resources/childrens-services/pregnancy-in-mind/]Pregnancy in Mind[/url] to help new parents with the ups and downs of having a baby[/p][p][b]£570[/b] could cover the cost for our Speak out Stay safe programme to visit 1 primary school and speak to every child aged 5-11[/p][p][b]£1,600[/b] could pay to recruit, train and support a new Childline volunteer.[/p][p]Please donate to help us reach our target and support the NSPCC in being there for all of the children who need them.[/p][p][b][u]How you can follow us:[/u][/b][/p][p]As it gets closer and closer to race day you can follow Saz on [url=https://www.instagram.com/sazkanthasamy/]Instagram[/url] and running progress on [url=https://www.strava.com/athletes/25265688]Strava[/url] and we'll both be keeping this page up to date with our progress.[/p]
