Railway Children and Aviva

Railway Children and Aviva

Railway Children and Aviva have been working together for a couple of years now as part of Aviva’s Street to School programme, which champions the needs of street children around the world. Their goal is to support children under 16 who’ve run away from home, or are at risk of doing so – but also to support children after they’ve returned home or gone back into care. Find out more about Aviva’s partnership with Railway Children here.

Through their partnership, they have reached more than 30,000 young people so far, both by education and prevention programmes and Aviva’s investment in projects across the UK.

Where does your money go in the UK?

£1 could buy a warm drink for a vulnerable child on the streets
£5 could buy a warm meal for a young person staying in a refuge
£10 could fund resources for 30 young people at a runaway prevention workshop
£25 could help keep one of our workers on the streets, seeking out children who may be at risk
£50 could pay for 1:1 support sessions to help a child work through their issues
