“Hearing first-hand how Childline counsellors help children and young people pour out their hearts to us about their suffering, talking about concerns such as abuse, bullying and mental health issues will have given Geri an even deeper understanding of how vital the service is to young people and how committed our staff and volunteers are to their work, saving lives and protecting children from pain.”
