The donations keep coming. Today, The Childhood Trust has become the second charity to join us in raising and allocating funds, as it contributes £500,000 to our On the Breadline appeal, taking the total after just one week to an incredible £2.5 million.
Cash raised by the Childhood Trust is different, in that it will go to children living in poverty in London. As such, funds from the Trust will be targeted at funding initiatives that support disadvantaged children in the capital, while cash raised with Comic Relief will go wider — funding organisations that support people of all ages who are struggling in every corner of Britain.
