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 t

owards 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.

A desk can change more than a room. It can change what's possible.

As students collect their GCSE results today, many will be thinking about their next step. But not everyone has a place to take it.

Our research shows that while children don't often talk about furniture, desks are one of the things they draw most. They represent more than a surface, they're a place to revise, learn, create and plan for the future.

Because success isn't just built on Results Day. It's built in the moments that follow.

Sometimes, the difference a desk makes is the difference between having somewhere to study and somewhere to believe in what's next.

We love getting feedback like this from our grant recipients 💕

The relief a Buttle grant can bring to a family is immeasurable. By easing the pressures of financial hardship, it creates space for children and parents to focus on what matters most: healing, stability, and hope for the future.

Happy International Youth Day! The UN has invited young people around the world to share messages of hope, support and collaboration. We asked our youth advisory panel members to share some words of encouragement to other young people across the globe! Swipe to see what they had to say.

17 year old Logan has had no support from his family for a while, things were quite tense at home and he was thrown out onto the street with nothing. With his grant from Buttle, he was able to get some things to make his new flat feel like home again, he was particularly thrilled to get a brand new PC for studying and a games console to play with his friends.

He told us this was really important to him and his mental health, the team were so pleased to make such a big difference for Logan.

A day out can mean so much more than just a day of fun for the families we support.

Through Buttle's Chances for Children grants, we help families create happy memories together with trips to the zoo, the farm, swimming, theme parks, bowling and more.

For children who have experienced hardship, these moments offer a chance to laugh, explore, build confidence and simply enjoy being a child. And for families, they're an opportunity to reconnect and make lasting memories together.

Because every child deserves moments of joy. 💙

1000 single-parent families.

That's how many single-parent families Buttle has supported with Chances for Children grants since January.

We know how much pressure single parents are under, managing finances, and parenting by themselves. That’s why our grants offer a friendly face, a helping hand and a sense of relief to families who need our help.

Behind every number is a child with greater opportunities, renewed confidence, and the essentials they need to reach their potential. 💙

After witnessing severe abuse towards their mum, Isabella and Megan had to leave their family home at very short notice.

Everything changed overnight which left them struggling both at school and at home.

As part of their Chances for Children grant, we were able to fund a short break at Haven for the family.

Those few days away gave them something they desperately needed: time to relax, reset, and simply enjoy being together without worry.

Sometimes, it's the chance to pause, feel safe, and make happy memories that helps families begin to rebuild.

Thank you to everyone who supports us at Buttle. Your generosity helps give children and families the support they need when they need it most. 💙

We love to give special grant items that mean something to a child, so when a karaoke machine was requested, our grants team knew they had to pay for it! Singing is a great way to express yourself, so we hope this family had a wonderful time having a karaoke night!

Since 2005 The National Lottery Community Fund England has given Buttle over £10 million! This has helped thousands of children across England to live happier lives and feel like they belong. Thank you to the National Lottery for your generous and continued support – together we will ensure that poverty and crisis do not define these children’s futures.

This family’s support worker told us that they had to move into a new house with nothing after leaving their abuser. With their grant from us, they were thrilled to receive a sofa and a TV to be able to watch films and bond together.

Here at Buttle, we know how important it is for families to be able to spend quality time together, that’s why we’re here to help!
