Gift 1: A trip to the cinema
A gift of just £8 could pay for a child who may not be able to afford it to go to the cinema with their friends. Being able to join in experiences like this ensures they have the same opportunities as other children.
Gift 2: Bedding and soft furnishings
By donating £10, you could help a young person moving into care make their room feel like their own, like choosing their own bedding and other soft furnishings.
Gift 3: Help a child stay in touch with their support worker
By gifting a £15 donation this Father's Day, you could buy phone credit to help a vulnerable young person keep in touch with their support worker. No child should feel isolated or alone, but with a virtual gift, you could help.
Gift 4: A support worker for a child in crisis
No child should have to struggle alone. With this gift, you could help a child in crisis get the help and mental health support they need.
We understand that Father's Day can be a sensitive and difficult time for many. It can be painful for those grieving the death or absence of their dad or father figure.
If you'd like to give a gift in memory, simply select "I'm donating in memory of someone special" and you can gift your donation in their name.
If you need some support
Children can have their own ways of expressing grief, and sometimes they don’t express it at all.
Our support workers and parent coaches offer empathy, understanding, and support all year round - especially at this time.
