The Bag You Carry: Advocating for Every Child’s Journey

07th October 2025

Every child steps into the world each morning carrying a bag, real or imagined, visible or invisible. The contents of this bag—hopes, worries, dreams, burdens—shape how they walk, learn, and thrive. At TLG, our 'The Bag You Carry' campaign is born from a simple truth: to support children, we must first understand the weight they carry.

In every community, there’s an undeniable power in connection—moments where people come together not just to share a meal or a space, but to build relationships that uplift and sustain.

TLG is a Christian children’s charity who is passionate about seeing struggling children find hope in the face of adversity. TLG offers a practical approach to build strong connections between local churches, families and schools.

Bringing hope to the mental health crisis.

From poverty to bereavement, family breakdown, and food insecurity, there are children across the UK facing some of the toughest starts in life. Here at TLG (Transforming Lives for Good) we believe change is possible and that no child should have to struggle alone. That's why in all our work lies an unchanging resolve to give struggling children hope and a future.
