The Trustees and management are at one mind over the donations the charity receives. The money as far as is possible has to be used to benefit the children.
We do however need to run a small administrative office in Bromley, south London, where our very small team work, and from where our loyal group of volunteers also operate. From our analysis, 85% of our income is spent directly on charitable activities, across 11 partners, supporting 3,200 children directly, and where appropriate their families too.
- Supporting the work of Sisters of St Elisabeth
- Financing the "Isle of Hope" care centre
- Supporting the operating costs for the Tony Hawks Centre
- Co-sponsoring the work undertaken at the Esther House After School centre
- Supporting the in-country charity "Help the Children" in Transnistria
- Helping the British charity MAD-Aid run the Phoenix Health Centre
- Support for work here is sadly on hold due to the war in Ukraine
- Funding the work of the "Childrens' Hearts" day care and fostering centre
- Funding the work of "New Beginnings" who support vulnerable Roma children
- Funding the work of "Love Without Borders" in caring for children in the Donbass region
- And in the development of a new healthcare and camp site near Makariv
- Exceptional aid is being sent for emergency aid in response to the war
In addition, we provide community support such as facilitating the delivering of hospital and medical equipment to Ukraine and Moldova.
ChildAid are delighted to accept donations to support the work of our partners. These donations can bring opportunity to distressed families and life changing benefits to a disabled child.
For instance:
- £10 Can buy a pair of school shoes, or put food on a table for a family for a week.
- £20 The cost to provide 5 children with computer lessons to improve their chances of future work
- £30 The opportunity to buy a child’s winter coat; an essential life saver when temperatures can routinely drop well below -20°.
- £50 Might feed a family of four for a month
- £100 Helps a family with fuel costs to keep their homes warm. Most of the families we support rarely bring home as much as £100 a month.
- £130 The approximate annual cost for ChildAid partners to provide life transforming care to each of the vulnerable children they support.
- £500 Enables 55 young people with severe learning difficulties to attend a day centre for a week (allowing parents the opportunity to take on full or part time employment to supplement their household income).
- £2000 Covers the cost to implement and run a 12 month programme of peer led sexual and personal health training for over 200 children (a UN FPA developed project)
- £2450 Would help ChildAid employ a fully qualified paediatric therapist for 12 months, delivering around 1,000 therapy sessions to those children in need.
Together we can do so much more to improve the lives of vulnerable children
