The Childhood Day Mile 2023 by Paul Cook

My Story
I am taking part in the NSPCC's Childhood Day Mile to raise money to help keep children safe. Be a King or a Queen for the day and sponsor my mile walk!

On Friday 9th June, Childhood Day, I will be moving walking a mile to help the NSPCC be here for children that have nowhere else to turn.
Help me reach my targets by donating to my page:
- £5 could pay for one the NSPCC practitioners to answer a call to the NSPCC helpline.
- £24 could pay for the NSPCC Speak out Stay safe programme to reach eight primary school children teaching them how to recognise abuse.
- £100 could pay for NSPCC trained volunteer counsellors to answer 25 calls to Childline.
My planned walk idea is to fill a plastic container up with water and carry it for a mile to bring awareness to not only the NSPCC but also the plight of children in Africa, who have to carry such water sometimes three times a day to survive. They can walk distances of up to 5 miles each time in scorching temperatures to obtain what we would call unsafe water to survive on. I will walk a mile if I can with a full container no doubt smaller than the ones they carry and report back on how it went. Watch this space!
