Every year in early June, volunteers from across the UK come together to raise essential funds and help the NSPCC continue its vital work in schools, online, and in local communities.
Visitors to Birmingham’s Cannon Hill Park on Saturday June 7 were greeted by rock renditions of famous rock classics from bands such as Queen, Keane and Guns N’ Roses in aid of the NSPCC’s day of fundraising.
While the Birmingham Rock Choir entertained visitors, a devoted team of volunteers were busy collecting donations and raising awareness of the work and services of the NSPCC.
Mell Square in Solihull also played host to a Childhood Day charity collection on June 7, as volunteers spent the morning and afternoon taking donations from members of the public.
Amanda Synnott, the NSPCC’s Community Fundraising Manager for the West Midlands, said: “We would like to thank everyone who played their part to help raise money and keep children safe this Childhood Day. Whether you were one of our amazing volunteers or supported us with a donation, you have made a real difference to children and families needing help here in the West Midlands.
“Despite being a large charity, over 80% of the NSPCC’s income comes from public donations and the funds raised this Childhood Day will support essential charity services, such as Childline and our local Schools Service.”
