Childhood is playing and learning, laughs and screams. It’s often silly and sometimes it’s tumbles. But for thousands of children, it’s not. It's secrets they're scared to tell and bruises they try to hide. Every childhood is different. Abuse should never be a part of it.
Will you help us be here for children? Donate today so we can provide urgently needed support.
Amber's story
"When I was 9, I was sexually abused by a close family member. By the time I was 12, it was destroying me. I spoke to Childline and they helped me build up the courage to confide in a teacher, something I'd wanted to do for 2 years."
The case went to trial but collapsed due to a lack of evidence - which was a very distressing experience. After suffering anxiety and depression, Amber was referred to Letting the Future In, our therapeutic recovery service for children who've been sexually abused.
"It's made an amazing difference to me. It gave me this confidence I never had. I don't think I would be here at all now if it wasn't for the NSPCC."
