Support the ISPCC!

I received a request today, asking if I would mind publicising the new advertising campaign from the Irish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (ISPCC). I immediately agreed because the ISPCC provide support for the most vulnerable children in our society. You can view their new campaign on their YouTube Channel.

The Irish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children Summer Campaign is entitled “I Can’t Wait Until I Grow Up”. The campaign, which will run for the month of May 2011, highlights that childhood is supposed to be one of the happiest and safest times in a child’s life, yet for many Irish children who contact Childline this is simply not the case.

The ISPCC receives less than 10% government funding. All funds are greatly received and will help us continue our work. Every donation helps brings us one step closer to our vision of every child having the right to be heard and to have a childhood free from abuse.

To read our Children’s Rights Manifesto, to make a donation to our work or to learn more log on to www.ispcc.ie to make a donation or to learn more.

If you are under 18 and affected by any of the issues highlighted, or need someone to listen please call Childline 1800 66 66 66 or childline.ie.

Each year, up to 35% of the calls received by the ISPCC go unanswered due to lack of funding. For information on how you can support the ISPCC, you can visit their website or their YouTube channel.
