Society against child abuse

Child abuse has become a serious and frequent problem in our society

Due to a difficult situation in our country's economy, people and especially parents have become more and more stressed and intolerant to children. Many of them don't event notice if their child has a problem of any kind, which can be a dangerous threat to the further communication and parent-child relationship, which in most cases leads to abuse, whether physical or emotional. The consequences are catastrophic. Society must do something to stop this horror!

Target groups: Abused children and teenagers.

Kind of help that would be given: The main target is to save as many child abuse victims as possible and make them feel safe by building them homes, and, of course, to raise consciousness about this particular problem which is, unfortunately, widely spread in our country. That is why concentrating on our closest environment, blocks and neighborhood can be of a huge importance.
Familiar with any cases in your surrounding? Why not join some of our volunteer group and help us with the cause?

The amount of money needed: When talking about a serious problem like this, the amount of raised money is never quite enough to save the victims, prevent child abuse in future and inform and raise awareness about this cause. However, to begin with, our plan is to raise £25,000, which is enough for building and furnishing a safe house into which we would move the victims.

Charity event: Our friend, one of the donors herself, Milly O'Donnell, an aspiring young photographer, has done a photo shoot of abused children. Photographs showing bruises, fractures and cuts indicate that we should take this cause very seriously and do everything that is in our power to stop it and prevent it. The exhibition will be held on Tuesday, 25th of May 2011 at the Lord Hemingway Art Gallery. All potential donors, as well as volunteers are more than welcome to come and help us win this battle.

Assignments: Our volunteers are divided into four groups, all doing all they can to inform our citizens about this problem and invite as many people as possible to the art gallery. The first group of volunteers will take care about the publicity of the problem through the media, as well as on the Internet and by passing leaflets on the streets. The second one, however, will make a list of possible donors - individuals and companies, and invite our hometown celebrities to help as well. The third group of volunteers will help organizing the event itself and the last group of volunteers will make sure that all donations are documented. All groups are given two months to do the assignments given.
