🌈 We were proud to be at Leicester Pride this weekend, showing that the NSPCC is here for all young people, including those in the LGBTQ+ community.
Thanks to the generous support of our partner Lidl GB, we were able to attend and celebrate alongside so many wonderful people. It was a joyful day and so much fun!
Children and young people are reaching out to Childline to talk to about their concerns and questions about gender and sexuality. Last year alone, our trained counsellors delivered over 2,400 counselling sessions on the topic.
Thank you, Leicester and thank you, Lidl 💚

Is your child anxious about heading back to school? As part of our partnership with Matalan, families in Bilston can give them a little confidence boost ahead of the new term!

Matalan's Confidence Caravan will be at the Springvale Retail Park store between 10.30am and 4.30pm this Sunday, where professional seamstresses will apply positive messages to children's uniforms.

Childline delivered more than 1,500 counselling sessions last year on returning to school or college, and simple, discrete messages like "You're braver than you know", "Believe in yourself" and "We're always behind you" offer a small but meaningful reminder for children to carry with them throughout the school day.

Hope to see you there!

Some useful advice here on when it's safe and appropriate for young people to be left home alone during the summer holidays.

There's a lot more information on the NSPCC website too, and you can contact the NSPCC Helpline if you have any questions or have any concerns about a child's safety or wellbeing.

With the long summer holidays now stretching on, many parents are facing the annual juggling act of balancing work with childcare.

We hope everyone who visits the Malt Shovel's Family Fun Day has a fantastic time.

We're also hugely grateful for the funds raised which will help support our vital work in the region and across the country.

Our colleagues in the North East have written about the history of Childline which celebrates its 40th anniversary this year.

It's a good reminder that although the world has changed a lot since then, Childline's mission to protect children across the UK remains the same.

Although the world has changed in the forty years since Childline was set up by Dame Esther Rantzen, and even in the 20 years since it became part of the NSPCC, the charity’s mission remains unchanged – to protect and support children.

This time next weekend, we'll be enjoying ourselves at the Family Fun Day at The Malt Shovel in Great Barr - everyone's welcome, and donations will support our work across the region as well as SANDS.

Hope to see you there!
