Buttle UK

For what matters in childhood. Common reasons why we help include disability, domestic violence, homelessness, ill mental health and estrangement.

Every year Buttle UK delivers around 12,000 emergency essentials―children's beds, cookers, fridges, washing machines―to young people and families who, without our support, would otherwise have to go without. Families who, through no fault of their own, are in situations where they cannot afford to pay for these items themselves even with the support of statutory funding. In some cases we can pay towards school fees for a child or young person who, if they didn't attend independent or boarding school, would be at risk of going into formal care. We also perform our own research, which has led to the creation of many successful projects including the Buttle UK Quality Mark for Care Leavers: a mark of recognition to help care leavers attain higher education and for institutions to recognise care leavers' needs. This project won Buttle UK the 2011 Charity Education Award and has now been accepted in 100 Universities and many other FE and HE institutions throughout the UK. Through all of this our mission is to provide those in poverty with a lifeline to help themselves out of deprivation and provide practical solutions that give children a fighting chance in life.

This year, on world Mental Health Day, we have spent £49,682 on therapy and counselling so far.

The theme for 2026 is “Lived experiences heard: real voices, real change”. Buttle is proud to have included therapy as a part of our grants programme as far back as 2014, when support workers would request it for the children they were working with who had fled domestic abuse. Since then, it has become a regular request as a part of our grants.

Supporting children and young people’s mental health is incredibly important to us, read the blog here: https://buttleuk.org/news/mental-health-day-supporting-children-to-heal-grow-and-thrive/

Exciting news! 🎉

We’ve officially reached £2m in grants given to children and young people for days out, extra-curricular activities and so much more. It felt like not long ago that we’d reached £1m!

Helena’s story is just one of many young people we’ve helped this year.

The team at Buttle are passionate about the work we do to help children across the country to thrive, not just survive ✨

October is Black History Month!

This year’s theme “Honouring Our Communities” shines a light on the everyday acts of leadership, care, service, creativity, courage and commitment that often go unrecognised.

We love this theme, as our work at Buttle would be impossible without our brilliant team and our amazing network of support workers. The contributions of Black people across the UK in education, youth work, volunteering and more deserve time for celebration.

We love to hear from parents just how much relief a Buttle grant gives them. From a bed to sleep in. A warm coat for the winter. A new school uniform. Thousands of our grants have given young people the confidence to shape their own futures. As long as children need us, we’ll be here for them.

How Buttle helped Annie and Taylor’s family reconnect. 💜

At only 8 and 10 years old, Annie and Taylor were terrified of their dad, their older siblings had already left the home due to the ongoing abuse they had witnessed.

Eventually, their dad was arrested and the family had to figure out how to navigate their new life, leaving them feeling very disconnected from each other.

Taylor and Annie got so many things as a part of their grant including new toys, clothes and a short break away which included their older siblings. It really helped the family make new memories together and reconnect after the abuse.

Being able to help families find themselves again is why we love what we do here at Buttle. 💜

We recently gave a grant for a baby's first pair of shoes.

We asked the team at Buttle if they had any fond memories of a special pair of shoes from their childhood and we were blown away by the stories!

We hope that our grants create memories for children that one day they can look back on with a smile.

Research from The Kings Trust says that 53% of young people feel anxious about their future on a daily basis. Our research shows that 65% of children we spoke to felt their dreams and aspirations weren’t possible because of the financial hardship they face.

Here at Buttle we do our part to support children and young people with items and experiences to help their mental health and heal from the crisis they have experienced. That’s why every grant we give is holistic and tailored to the needs of the child, to make a real, lasting impact.

Together, we can change the future for children and young people by making it a little bit brighter and more hopeful.
