This is a positive step along the road. Only a step.

But you know with us we will never stop fighting for children affected by their parents drinking. We’ve come so far, but the horizon is still a way ahead.

So we'd like to dedicate this special moment to everyone who's been part of the helpline journey since 1990.

And every member and donor who has created the space for us to answer over a million contacts since 1990.

Become a member today to help us reach a million more.

Because helplines give all the power to the caller. People of all ages can call us without any time limits or conditions.

Wherever you are, whoever you are...

We reach the breadth of the UK and give people that vital intervention to help them know they aren’t alone.
