First of all I would like to thank you for showing an interest in and opening my blog. Putting a stop to cruelty to children is something I feel strongly about. A lot of people don’t seem to have heard of the NSPCC-(National Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Children)-so I am trying to gain more positive views on stopping child cruelty in the UK.
The NSPCC is a Voluntary Organisation that is working to fulfil their aims of putting an end to child cruelty. It has already got a large amount of advertisements that help to raise awareness of Child Cruelty, so I am trying to change people’s views on whether or not they should help raise money for the NSPCC. As it is a Voluntary Group, it relies on donations from the public. Monthly contributions start from a mere two pounds, which even though it sounds tiny, helps to pay for the right care for children.
I feel that to change your opinion of the NSPCC you should;
• Think about what changes YOU can make to help change this country into a better place
• Consider the feelings of the children who deserve to be treated right
• Finally think how it will make you feel knowing you perhaps, have changed a life
We all know the heartbreaking story of Baby P, and by contributing-whether in donations of time, effort or money-to the NSPCC WE can work to make sure this sort of cruelty is ended.
Thank you again for reading my blog. Please leave a comment letting me know what you think. As another great help, perhaps you could answer the questions below. More details on the NSPCC and helping it can be found at http://www.nspcc.org.uk/.
• Had you heard of the NSPCC before now?
• Do you feel more informed on how you can help the NSPCC?
• Would you now consider…
- Donating money to the NSPCC?
- Volunteering for the NSPCC?
- Start or join a fundraiser to aid the NSPCC?

I think child cruelty is terrible. I have heard of the NSPCC, but your blog has given me more infromation. I will consider helping out the NSPCC, as it is a needy cause.
ReplyDeleteI have heard of the NSPCC before but your blog has given me some more information that i didn't know about before. I think that cruelty to children is wrong and your blog will encourage more people to donate some money to ther cause.
ReplyDeleteYes, i have heard of the NSPCC and after reading this i know more things than before about the NSPCC. i have donated money to them before and i will do it again. your blog has made me realise that they are very nice people!
ReplyDeleteI have heard of the NSPCC before I read this, but I never really knew much about them and what they did. I think I would consider donating money to the NSPCC because I don't like child cruelty at all!
ReplyDeleteI already thought that the nspcc was a good idea but after reading your blog I now know more things about the charity.I now strongly feel that i hsould donate some money as the nspcc does some extrodinary thing. I thing cruelty to children is horible and im sure your blog has made an impact on many people
ReplyDeleteChildren don't diserve the brutality that they reciecve,look at baby peter for example, it's just sickening to think that anyone can harm a small child :|
ReplyDeleteI think that child cruelty is horrible and should be stoped.
ReplyDeletei agree with what you have posted and i think it is all true, you have made me really think about child cruelty and what it actually is,thanks
ReplyDeleteI have heard of the Nspcc and i will deffinetly consider donating, i think child cruelty is devistaing and must be stopped! Thankyou for this blog i do feel more informed now.
ReplyDeleteYes i had heard of the NSPCC, I have learnt more about it now though, I have, previously donated money to the NSPCC through my primary school.
ReplyDeleteChild cruelty is horrible, how could you do that to a child ?? :/
No I have not heard about it before but now I know a lot a bout it i would love to help as it is horrible and i can not watch the adverts on the tv fully as i get upset about some of the stories
ReplyDeleteBefore reading this blog I had already heard of the NSPCC and my parents donate to them. Child cruelty is a horrible thing and I agree that charities for it are often not well-publicised. I would definitely consider volunteering and raising money if the chance came about, children are delicate and are the future of the human race so why do this to them?
ReplyDeleteI agree about stopping child cruelty and i think that more people should know about it and look into it as it might make a bigger impact. Its horrible how things can be done to children which nobody knows about til its too late...
ReplyDeletethanks for writin the blog, it might make more people understand about it :) x

Charlotte's presentation was very informative and I learnt a lot. I now would like to do more to stop cruelty to children and would like to thank you for showing me about this brilliant organisation.
ReplyDeleteCharlotte showed a presentation to our year group today. Charlotte articulated clearly and informatively her thorough research on the NSPCC. Very well done as I am now more aware of the role and the aim of the NSPCC and the results they are continuing to achieve.

hi, i'm from devon and i have heard of the NSPCC before. however this is only because of a few adverts i used to see on TV.
ReplyDeleteNow, after looking at your Blog, i definitely feel lots more informed!
i wouldn't donate to the NSPCC, but that's only because i am a student in full time education and therefore i barely have enough spare cash anyway! i would volunteer in holiday time and i would defo get myself and my friends involved in a fundraiser too.
good luck, your doing brilliantly!
