Help The Children's Society build a safety net for children who run away from home.

Jenny Agutter to attend our special evensong at St Paul's Cathedral

Join us at service in support of the 100,000 young people who run away each year

Actress Jenny Agutter will attend our evensong on 15 November at St Paul’s Cathedral in London. Please join us for the unique service in support of our Make Runaways Safe campaign.

‘Tens of thousands of children who run away every year never get the support they need’, Agutter said. ‘Many have nowhere to turn and find themselves homeless. Tragically, most are never reported missing.

‘I’ve met youngsters who’ve been homeless and have heard of the appalling risks they face daily living on the streets. That’s why I’m supporting the Make Runaways Safe Campaign which is pressing for all the agencies involved, the government, local authorities and the police, to work together to provide a national safety net for these children and to help give them a future to look forward to.’

In addition to drawing attention to the needs of children and young people and other charities, Jenny Agutter is a renowned actress who has starred in films such as The Railway Children, Walkabout and An American Werewolf in London, and in the BBC series Spooks.

A unique evensong at St Paul’s

The Make Runaways Safe campaign aims to create a national safety net for children who run away from home or care.

Please join us for our special evensong at St Paul’s on 15 November. There is no charge to attend.

Consider signing our petition in support of runaways and emailing your MP and telling them to stand up for children at risk on the streets.
