We are so incredibly grateful to everyone who donates, volunteers or runs fundraising activities on our behalf. Our supporters are at the heart of what we do, and your gifts of time and money really do make a difference.
At The Children’s Trust we promise that our fundraising will be Legal, Open, Honest and Respectful. We want you to know how much we value your support of children and young people with brain injury:
Keeping our Supporters Safe
Our priority is always the health and wellbeing of the children and young people we support and their families, as well as our volunteers, supporters and staff.
We are following guidance from The Fundraising Regulator and the Chartered Institute of Fundraising on how we conduct fundraising activities in a responsible way in light of the Covid-19 pandemic, and we will continue to review and adjust our plans accordingly.
We would like to thank everybody for their support and understanding as we manage this challenging situation. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us on enquiries@thechildrenstrust.org.uk
