NSPCC

The NSPCC is the leading children’s charity fighting to end child abuse in the UK and Channel Islands.

Using voluntary donations, which make up more than 90 per cent of their funding, they help children who’ve been abused to rebuild their lives, they protect children at risk, and they find the best ways of preventing child abuse from ever happening.

Below are some of the articles shared with OnTheWight by the NSPCC.
