Get involved
Help beat bullying: Sadly, bullying is the <em>most common</em><em> </em> problem
that children call Child Line about. We can send you an anti-bullying pack full of great activities, tips and ideas. Or why not fundraise for us during anti-bullying week and help us to raise money to answer calls from a further 1,000 children every day? Start a peer support scheme: Young people can help each other! We can help you set up a ‘peer support scheme’ at your school and train
volunteer pupils in <em>listening</em><em> </em>, empathy and problem-solving skills.
Help us take more calls: Only around half of the young people who
call us every day get through. You can help by making a <em>donation</em>
or even volunteering as a child line counsellor yourself.
