This is the easiest way EVER to raise money for a good cause. When selecting which cause you wish the money you raise to go to, we are registered under Transformation Powerhouse.
Write or email your MP, asking them to read the Children’s Commissioner report on Child Sexual Abuse in the family and ask the government what is being done about the thousands of children who are being sexually abused each year and are not telling anybody – the government estimates there are over 100,000 each year. The more letters they receive, the more this issue will get raised in their consciousness.
If you are interested in doing this, you can download this template letter and email it to them.
To find your MP go to this site and enter your postcode, it will give you their name and email address.
Are you or any of your family involved in clubs, school activities etc… why not get a paper copy of the petition and bring it with you next time you go, and see how many signatures you can get.
Read the summary of the Report published by the Children’s Commission in Nov 2015. You may be surprised.
If you are unable to read all the summary, just read the first 2 pages (Introduction) and the last 3 pages (the conclusion and recommendations)
Attend an event or location with the friendly A Child Is Crying Team, where we will collect signatures on the petition together. If you would like be contacted about future dates, please send an email to Dianah@achildiscrying.org.uk
This may entail having a selection of leaflets, badges, petition forms etc… and actively promoting this cause in the area where you live or where you work.
