At SAFE!, we believe every child and young person deserves to feel safe, supported, and heard. Every day, we work with children and families across the Thames Valley who have been affected by crime, abuse or violence – helping them move from harm to healing.
But we can’t do it alone. Every year we need to raise money through grants and public donations to keep offering support to children and families.
Whether you’re an individual, school, business, or community group, there are many ways to support SAFE!
We’re sure you have some amazing, unique ideas for events and activities and would love to hear about them. Get in touch on [email protected]
