This Christmas, we’re shining a light on the hidden impact of family hardship on children. Our first-ever Christmas appeal film shows three small children waiting in line to see Father Christmas. But behind their little faces, are stories of struggle, told by their parents.

These stories are real, and they’re sadly not rare.
