In the UK, an estimated 1 in 9 children will run away from home or care before they’re 16; forced to leave because of violence, substance abuse and parental neglect. Whether you’re a parent or just someone who wants to make a difference we need your help.
‘Change the story’ is a new campaign backed by Railway Children and Aviva; it’s about making a difference for the children at risk on UK streets by raising awareness of the issues and encouraging change. It’s not just an online campaign. It’s a movement for every child who has nowhere to turn and needs support.
Railway Children’s 16 years of devotion to vulnerable children living alone and at risk on the street is backed up by Aviva’s commitment to making a difference in our communities through our international Street to School programme.
We want to persuade the UK government to commit more resources for those children at risk, ensuring they have somewhere and someone to run to, where they’re not at risk. We need 100,000 signatures so we can start influencing the policy makers…
