I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of your readers who have supported the work of the NSPCC during the past year and appeal to them 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.

There are many different ways that people can volunteer their time including helping out with admin at one of our offices; becoming an NSPCC ChildLine Schools Service volunteer; becoming a ChildLine helpline counsellor; getting involved in an event by setting up stalls or taking photographs, or cheering on NSPCC participants in a sporting race or activity.

So whether you’re interested in running a marathon, running a stall at a local fete, or just sparing a few hours to help at a collection, we would love to hear from you.
