We are Transforming Lives for Good.

TLG is a national Christian children's charity that helps churches to bring hope and a future to struggling children.

From trauma, to poverty and food insecurity, there are children across the UK facing some of the toughest starts in life. We believe change is possible and that's why in all our work lies an unchanging resolve to transform lives for good.

Urgent Christmas Appeal

Today in your community, hidden out of sight, there is the guilt and anxiety of a parent who can’t afford a Christmas present for their child, the shame and isolation of a family without enough to eat. 

There are 4.3 million children living in poverty in the UK today. That's 100,000 more than last Christmas. Children who are facing the holidays with empty tummies instead of joy. But there is one gift you can give today which will change lives.

This Christmas, would you consider giving an extra gift so TLG Make Lunch can deliver more help where it’s needed most? 

I want to give hope today!

To mark 25 years of bringing hope and a future to struggling children across the UK, we’re collaborating with the Riding Lights Theatre Company to share their stories with you. 

Joe’s eleven and home is hard. School is even harder. He breaks stuff: pencils, chairs, rules. One thing he won’t break is his silence. 

Heather’s fifty-seven. She’s got a comfortable life and a comfortable home. But her comfortable world is about to be turned upside down as she and Joe spend an hour a week together. Every week. For a year.

Where will this journey of hours and weeks take them?
