Request: Donations / Gifts from a wishlist / Kind messages

This week, we'd like to help children get ready for secondary school.
There are so many things children need when they start secondary school, and it all adds up. Uniforms, scientific calculators, backpacks, maths sets, stationery... the list is long. For families who are already struggling financially, those extra costs can push them into crisis. It means some children start school without the things they need (around one in six secondary school pupils has missed school at least once because they didn't have something they needed.)

We'd love to help.

We've put together a wishlist of the equipment children need for secondary school, and we'll use your donations to buy uniforms. You can also send kind messages, which we will share with the families we help.

Through our network of schools, small charities and social workers, we'll make sure every item goes straight to the children who need them.

What We Need

1. Donations: We will use your donation to buy secondary school equipment and school uniforms. You can make a donation using the button or text-to-donate details below.

2. Buy something from our wishlist: We've set up a wishlist filled with calculators, maths sets, stationery and other items needed. To buy a gift, just click on the link below and choose something from the list. Select the 'Gift Registry Address' when you check out and it will be sent directly to us.

3. Send a kind message: We will pass your message along to the families being supported. You can send a kind message by email by filling in the form below (your contact details will not be shared), or by post to: 52 Lives, (542), PO Box 3154, Reading, RG1 9At.
