Kids Help Phone
Kids Help Phone is Canada’s only toll-free, 24-hour, bilingual and anonymous phone and web counselling, referral and information service for children and youth. Children and teens contact Kids Help Phone about every issue imaginable, including physical, sexual and emotional abuse, drugs and suicide. In 2005, Kids Help Phone helped kids in need from almost 3,000 Canadian communities more than 1 million times through its phone and online services.
As a Kids Help Phone Official Sponsor since 2003, G4S plays an important role in Kids Help Phone’s ability to provide immediate, caring support to young people in urban and rural communities across the country. G4S provides Kids Help Phone with more than $125,000 of support annually, including our cash pick up services at events, sponsorship of the “Being There for Kids” Dinner in Toronto, and an internal payroll deduction program which contributed almost $30,000 last year.
G4S is proud that our ongoing support of Kids Help Phone helps to ensure that they continue to receive comments like this one, posted to their website in June 2006:
“im going to have faith.....which i never thought i could....until i heard about you and was able to actually talk to someone about my problem's...thanks a million.....u saved my life...literally.”
