Amazing achievements. Memorable moments.

It’s heart-breaking to think how many children don’t get the safe, happy childhood they deserve. But by supporting the NSPCC, you’ve helped us be there for more children, no matter what their worry. Here are some of the incredible things your support has made happen recently.

You taught children to speak out about abuse.

Abuse is never a child’s fault, and you’ve helped to teach more children that. Our Speak out Stay safe school programme helps children understand how to recognise and report abuse. We reached nearly 900,000 school children last year. Thanks to you, those children now know that they have the right to feel safe.

You helped parents protect their children.

Talk PANTS is a simple conversation we encourage parents to have with their children, to help keep them safe from sexual abuse. So many children don’t even realise that what’s happening to them is wrong before it’s too late. PANTS is set up to change that. And because of your ongoing support, over 1.5 million parents talked to their child about PANTS.

You kept children safe online.

One in five internet users is a child, and you’ve fought to protect them. As you may have read about in the news recently, the Government has introduced an Online Safety Bill to help protect and prevent young people from being groomed and abused online. At a time when child sexual abuse is at an unprecedented high, your support helped us campaign to get this vital bill into Parliament. You’ve helped to keep children safe, both on and offline.

You created new support for young people.

Even in the last few months, you’ve helped us launch new services that could protect so many futures. In September 2022, we launched Talk Relationships, to help young people in secondary school learn about sex and relationships safely. And in January 2023, we launched Listen up Speak up, free digital training to help any adult know what to do if they’re concerned about a child’s safety. We couldn’t have launched new ways to help children without your continued support.

You’ve done more than you’ll ever know.

In the UK, half a million children suffer abuse or neglect a year. That means 7 children in every classroom experience abuse before they turn 18. Year in, year out, children are going to need our help. And by supporting our long-running services, and helping us launch new ones, you’ve made sure we’ll be there for them no matter what.
