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.
Despite the bad weather, colleagues from the Amazon fulfilment centre in Kegworth were out in Derby collecting donations and raising awareness of the work and services of the NSPCC on June 5.
Arnold in Gedling, Nottinghamshire, also played host to a Childhood Day charity collection on June 6, as volunteers spent the morning and afternoon taking donations from members of the public.
Barbara Elsey, the NSPCC’s Community Fundraising Manager for the East 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 East 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.”
