Childline

New Childline campaign, called “Day in the Lonely”

Nationally we have seen a rising number of children reaching out to Childline due to loneliness. Worryingly, since 2017/18 there has been a 71% increase in contacts from under 11s seeking support for feelings of loneliness.

In response to these growing concerns Childline has developed this campaign to normalise these feelings and encourage children to speak openly about their mental health before the issues escalate.
