Get involved
We all have a role to play in creating a healthier, happier society. It won’t be an ‘easy fix’ – transformation never is. But together, we can change the world around children.
Raise awareness
While there was near unanimous agreement (91%) that the early years are important in shaping a person’s future life, only a small number of people recognise the unique importance of the 0-5 period. Yet the way we develop, through our experiences, relationships and surroundings at this very early age, fundamentally shapes our whole lives.
Awareness raising is important in itself – so talk to people, share our campaign and spread the word on the crucial importance of early childhood.
Play your part
We all have a role to play in creating a healthier, happier society. From checking in with those around you and offering help, to considering opportunities in your local community or workplace to build a more supportive, nurturing world around children and carers, there are lots of opportunities to make a difference.

Volunteer your time, resource or expertise
A range of opportunities exist for making a difference to children and families through charity projects, fundraising or volunteering. However you’re able to support, every little helps.
Volunteering opportunities
Alternatively, why not consider becoming a Trustee of a local or national charity, or volunteering your skills on a project? You can find a range of opportunities through Getting on Board or Reach Volunteering.
