Children's Society - make runaways safe?

At our Christingle Service we will be collecting the donation candles to help the work of the Children's Society.


Currently they are running a campaign about children who run away from home, "make runaways safe?"


 Every five minutes a child in the UK runs away from Home


We're  At  risk

Every child who has run away deserves to be protected through a national safety net of support.Without help, these children are highly vulnerable and at risk of substance abuse, sexual exploitation and homelessness. They need to know that there are people who can help them and services that they can turn to.
You can help by donating online here.

There is also an online petition that you can sign

Lord,
Is it too much to ask, that children should not be frightened?
Is it too much to hope, that they wont have to run away?
Is it too much to demand that those on the streets will be safe and looked after?
Is it too much to dream that one day they will find a place that they can call home?
Amen
