Will you help a child journey from crisis to hope this Christmas? <
Be a shepherd of peace and you could equip churches to offer ongoing mental health support, helping vulnerable children and families find calm, resilience, and restoration.
DOUBLE YOUR IMPACT! With match funding, we will receive double the amount you generously give today. That makes a total of £500 towards changing the lives of struggling children!
This Christmas, hundreds of thousands of UK children are held back - trapped in a mental health crisis with the road to help blocked.
"Are we there yet?"
As Christmas approaches, many of us find ourselves on journeys - travelling to see family and friends, navigating busy roads, or weaving through crowded train stations.
At TLG, we hear the question loud and clear: “Are we there yet?” The answer is: not yet. The destination of wellbeing, hope and fullness of life is out of reach for too many children.
We see the crisis every day. Children overwhelmed by anxiety, isolation, and hopelessness - pressures from school, food insecurity and the rising cost of living. All these issues deeply affect a child’s mental health.

Step by step, Billy’s anger turned into peace, and his confidence began to grow.
