yourtown is here for children and young people when life gets overwhelming. From counselling and safe housing, to helping them find their first job, your support ensures they never have to face those tough moments alone.
And for many young people, the toughest moments come at the end of the year. The holidays can intensify loneliness, stress, and family pressures. When there’s no one to listen, the consequences can be heartbreaking. And that’s when your gift of kindness makes all the difference.
This Christmas, you could save a life.
Thanks to supporters like you, Kids Helpline is there 24/7 with a counsellor ready to listen when a child reaches out in their darkest moments. Almost half of the funding that keeps this vital service running comes from the community – from people who believe every child deserves to be heard, supported, and never alone.
Charlotte’s story is a powerful reminder of why your support is so important. At just 12 years old, after enduring relentless bullying, Charlotte tragically ended her life. Her final wish was simple: Share my story. Raise awareness about bullying. Everyone matters, every day.
Your generosity helps ensure that wish lives on, and that every young person has someone to listen, care, and remind them they matter.
Your tax-deductible donation before June 30 will help us fund more counsellors and resources to ensure that every call, every chat, and every cry for help can be answered.
You can be the reason the next call gets answered.
Your support allows Kids Helpline to be there every minute, every hour, every day.
