York's city walls will be turning green to raise awareness for NSPCC's Childline this week. The Childline service provides round-the-clock counselling to thousands of children and young people.
During last year's festive period, 5,501 counselling sessions were delivered during the 12 days of Christmas. Childline director, Shaun Friel, said that the festive season can be a high-pressured time for families and that they hear from thousands of children during the 12 days of Christmas who need their help and support.
During the longest night of the year, York’s city walls will join landmarks across the county in being lit green to remind people that Childline is available.
