thank you to all readers in Blackburn who supported the NSPCC in 2011. We have made significant strides for children this year.
We rolled out the ChildLine Schools Service, particularly focusing on seven to 11 year olds.
The service visits primary schools and helps children understand what abuse is, including bullying, how to protect themselves and how to seek help.
Over the past 25 years ChildLine has spoken to over 2.6 million children about concerns ranging from bullying to sexual abuse.
We are reaching more children and young people who need us.
In November we launched our ‘All Babies Count’ campaign to highlight the vulnerability of babies and to call for better and earlier support for new parents.
Make it your New Year’s resolution to vulnerable babies to help us make All Babies Count. Pledge your support at allbabiescount.nspcc.org.uk/ or by liking us on Facebook and following us on Twitter.
We are always extremely grateful to everyone in Blackburn for their continued support and generosity.
Janette Drew, NSPCC community fundraising manager, Blackburn.
