Back to School, Without You.

A missing parent. A growing child.

A school year they shouldn’t face alone.

“Dad would wake me up early. Mum would laugh because I packed my bag a week before. That was before everything changed.”

For thousands of children across the UK, back to school isn’t joyful; it’s lonely. When a parent is imprisoned, their world shifts.

New uniforms become luxuries.

School shoes become hand-me-downs.

Backpacks are zipped with silence, not excitement.

They’re not just missing a parent.

They’re missing support. Stability. Confidence.

They’re facing a new school year with shame, not supplies.

“Mum says we can’t get new uniforms this year. I try not to ask for too much.”

A uniform that fits.

Shoes that don’t draw attention.

A backpack filled with supplies.

These aren’t just things.

Their dignity. They’re belonging. They’re emotional relief.

HHUGS isn’t just covering school costs.

We’re restoring normalcy, one child, one backpack, one smile at a time.

The Clock Is Ticking

School starts soon.

The pressure has already begun.

Children are returning to school without basic supplies, many with deep emotional trauma.

With your support, HHUGS can step into the silence and say:

“You haven’t been forgotten.”

“HHUGS helped me get shoes that didn’t have holes in them. Now I walk into class proud, not embarrassed.”

You can be the reason a child walks into school with pride.

You can be the presence that counters absence.

You can help them go back to school with confidence, not shame.

This is happening here.

Not in a war zone. Not in a refugee camp.

Right here, in cities, estates, and homes on your doorstep.

Under counter-terrorism laws, families are punished not just emotionally, but financially. Jobs vanish. Bank accounts close. Support systems evaporate. Children are the ones left behind.

Back-to-school costs more than you think. But the cost of doing nothing is far greater.

This year, make a choice that changes everything.

Donate now. Share their story. Help us stand in the gap where the system has failed.

Please don’t let them go back to school without the basic things they need…Imagine if this were your child.

Back to school, without you…

Let’s not let that happen again.

Together, we can give them the start they deserve.
