I WOULD like to take this opportunity to thank all of your readers in Wirral who have supported the work of the NSPCC during the last year.
Without the backing of local people the NSPCC would not be able to help abused children rebuild their lives, or be there for parents who desperately need advice and support.
As we move into 2015 I would like to appeal to your readers to make a very special kind of New Year's resolution for the NSPCC.
Just One Day is a call for people to come forward and volunteer some time to support our work – even if people can only spare one day it will be a massive help.
Abuse ruins childhood, but it can be prevented. That's why the NSPCC is here.
That's what drives our work, and that’s why – as long as there’s abuse the NSPCC will fight for every childhood.
Please join us in the fight for every childhood by volunteering some time to support the NSPCC, whether you can spare a day a week or just one day.
To find out more call me on 0844 892 0253 or email northwestappeals@nspcc.org.uk or log on to nspcc.org.uk/volunteer
