Did you know... Donations made via Just Giving are paid to the NSPCC once a week. This means we can put every donation to use immediately – so we can continue to still be there for children.
How to ask on social media
It's important to let friends and family know why their donations are so vital in making sure we can still be here for children. If you're not sure what to post, we've got some helpful suggestions.
The best social media posts have photos. We’ve created some images that you can download below and share on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook or Linkedin.
Alternatively, why not post a photo of yourself in your NSPCC running vest, or doing your training workout?

- For many children, the uncertainty and worry from the pandemic has taken a toll on their mental health, while others have felt trapped in unsafe homes. Even now with restrictions are easing, the impact of the pandemic isn’t over. That’s why I'm fundraising for the NSPCC. Please donate via my [JustGiving/Virgin Money Giving] page:

Sadly, home isn’t a safe place for every child. While summer holidays and eased restrictions mean children have more opportunities to see friends again, many vulnerable children are still at risk. But the NSPCC is here children. I'm running the [Event Name] – please sponsor me.

During last year’s lockdowns, the NSPCC helpline say a 60 percent increase in contacts from people worried about children experiencing online sexual abuse. The NSPCC won’t stop until every child is safe online. And I won’t stop fundraising. Please donate to my fundraising page to help protect children and help them recover from abuse online.
- Many children have been the hidden victims of the pandemic, and the effects are far from over. That’s why I'm fundraising for the NSPCC so they can be here for children and make sure every child has a place to turn for support when they need it.

The past year has been difficult for us all. And we’ve seen our lives, and the lives of our children, change in ways we couldn’t have imagined. But it’s also shown us we can do so much when we all join together. I’m playing my part by running the [Event Name] with #TeamNSPCC to help prevent child abuse and neglect. Will you sponsor me?

During last year’s lockdowns, Childline saw an 11 per cent increase in the number of counselling sessions about online sexual abuse. The NSPCC won’t stop until every child is safe online. That’s why I'm running the [Event Name] with #TeamNSPCC. Will you sponsor me?
- Keep your social distance! ✋ Instead of buying me a birthday drink or present, will you donate to my fundraising page for the NSPCC? £4 could pay for a trained volunteer counsellor to pick up a child's call to Childline.
- I'm still fundraising ahead of the [EVENT NAME] on [EVENT DATE]. Please sponsor me – the money that you donate today can be used to help children who need help now.

The NSPCC want to answer every call, reach every child who needs them and keep adapting to whatever challenges this year brings. I’m playing me part by taking part in the [Event Name] with #TeamNSPCC. Help the NSPCC be here for children by donating to my fundraising page:
