This year Westlife are helping the ISPCC’s Childline service to launch it’s “Who’s Calling” awareness initiative, the aim of which is to highlight the difficulties with which Ireland’s children are contacting the society. Young people are able to contact the service for a wide range of reasons; 63 per cent of calls from children were about their personal life. This can cover a lot of topics such as school, bereavement, and mental health issues. Childline is accessible to all children and young people throughout Mayo and Ireland. The ISPCC’s staff call to various schools throughout the county making as many as possible aware of the service, and indeed the various means of accessing it.
