Change children’s lives.
When you run with #TeamNSPCC, you could help support a child with their mental health needs too.
Young people reporting as suffering with loneliness, anxiety, and mental health issues has been increasing over recent years. Children need us now more than ever, but this isn’t something the NSPCC can do alone.
Childline is a life-changing NSPCC service, giving children and young people a voice when no one else is listening. We have two Childline bases across Wales, and we also offer a Welsh language service for young people wanting to contact us in Welsh.
On average, a child contacts Childline every 45 seconds. Last year more than 5,000 children in South Wales contacted Childline. Many of them are frightened. Many are lonely. Many are suffering abuse. All of them just want to reach someone who will listen.
Do something incredible by joining #TeamNSPCC at the Cardiff Half Marathon 2024.
Stand with us. Run for us. Together, we can transform children’s lives.
