Donate the cost of your daily coffee or commute to help vulnerable families
An increasing number of vulnerable children and young people are feeling the effects of lockdown and are living with fear, uncertainty and isolation.
As a consequence of the pandemic we are seeing a generation of the most vulnerable children experiencing escalating mental health issues and spiralling levels of poverty and deprivation. Many families are now really struggling to cope.
As one of the largest children’s charities, Barnardo’s are asking people to donate what would have been the cost of their usual daily commute or coffee to support these children and their families, so they can deal with the immediate challenges they are facing today.
We can support them with essentials such as food vouchers, paying for heating and electricity during these cold winter months and providing internet access so children can keep up with schoolwork online.
We can also provide access to counselling and other support services to help those struggling with bereavement and loss, family breakdown or general anxiety.
A week’s worth of coffees could mean a week’s worth of food for a child. With your help we can deliver the practical and emotional support families in crisis need.
You can help by supporting our Children in Crisis Appeal today via Barnardo’s Just Giving Page www.justgiving.com/campaign/donateyourdailycommute
Thank you.
Yours faithfully,
Sarah Crawley, Director, Barnardo’s Cymru
