The Met is delighted to be supporting The Childhood Trust as our 2024 Christmas Tree Appeal charity partner. The year’s Appeal will raise funds to ensure that London’s most vulnerable children are kept safe this Christmas.
Despite London being ranked the fifth wealthiest city in the world, 33% - 700,000- of London’s children live below the poverty line. Your donation will enable The Childhood Trust’s vital work to alleviate the impact of child poverty across the capital, with a focus on improving children’s safety and wellbeing at home and in the community.
Through their London-wide network, The Childhood Trust will deliver vital projects in every London borough this Christmas, including providing hot meals and warm clothes, accommodation support and advice for families, safe spaces to play, learn and socialise, safer home environments and targeted interventions to tackle issues including the impact of homelessness, temporary accommodation or being vulnerable to abuse, gangs and crime.
Here’s how your donation can make an impact:
- £10 – A winter book to inspire creativity and imagination
- £15 – Hot meals for a child for a week
- £30 – A month of educational or recreational activities to keep a child engaged
- £50 – Essential counselling for a child in need of emotional support
- £150 – A warm bed and duvet for a safe, restful night
Any donation you can make will help the Met keep London’s vulnerable children safe, and we are hugely grateful for your support!
