Action for Children’s statutory funding is only part of the story. Crucial to our ability to provide excellent services for vulnerable children, young people and families is income from voluntary sources. Voluntary income ensures that we can be there for children and young people most in need for as long as it takes. Voluntary income means that we can provide activities and have the equipment to ensure that vulnerable children and young people have better chances in life and can fulfil their potential. It also means that we can try new innovative projects to more effectively meet the needs of our children and young people. Voluntary income for us comes from the community, events, individual donors and legators, companies, trusts, foundations and lottery funds. Over the last year voluntary income has helped us provide – Tailor made IT sessions so that young people are more skilled and employable Financial literacy support for families New sensory rooms and gardens Transport to activities, for example social outings for young carers Equipment Refurbishment of buildings A project working with single fathers A project working with primary school children to reduce bullying and aggression
