Tom is just eleven, but with his mum gone and his dad unable to get out of bed some days, he has to be the adult in the house – for him, and his little sister Sarah. For children, like Tom, trying to cope with isolation, loss, low self-esteem and self-harm, Christmas can be the darkest time of the year. They urgently need to talk and hear at least one caring voice this Christmas. To realise they are not alone and there is always someone here to listen and support no matter what.
Will you give a gift to Childline today to help make sure no call goes unanswered this Christmas? Because the hardest calls are the ones we can’t get to.
