Kyle and his mum fled domestic abuse. With a Buttle grant, Kyle got a study space and laptop, helping him face GCSEs with confidence. Every grant we give is tailored to what matters most for young people.
At Buttle, our grants are tailored to every child and young person to help them move on from crisis. When this child’s mum asked us for a Star Wars costume, we knew we had to help Little Yoda live out his Jedi dreams!
Can you believe it!? Since April we’ve already supported over 1000 children and young people with a Buttle grant. That’s enough people to fill up a standard sized tennis court! We’re proud to support children and young people here at Buttle ❤️
Research from Teach First shows disadvantaged pupils are 22 months behind their peers. At Buttle, we provide essentials like laptops and books to close this gap. Read more: teachfirst.org.uk/reports/class-…
They told us: “I get it to an extent, but I also don’t get it at all. Social media has provided a lot of people perspective on different things and to see the wider world through the screen if they’re unable to do it in person. But I do see the downsides of it.”
We asked our Youth Advisory Panel for their opinion on the social media ban for under 16’s, and this is what one of our members had to say.
After a house fire left 6-year-old Dan and his mum with nothing, Buttle helped create a safe bedroom for him in their new home. Dan found his confidence again, and they’re moving forward together. If it’s important to a child, it’s important to us.
After years of conflict, Amber’s mum threw her out with only an empty suitcase. Homeless and sofa surfing as a teen, she had to defer university to focus on her mental health. Her Buttle grant provided study and living essentials, helping her start her degree with confidence.
For a young person, coming out as trans is daunting. Will their parents still accept them? For many, this is not the case and they will end up estranged with no support. 📝Sign our letter to Keir Starmer for equal rights for estranged young people here:bit.ly/DearKeir
We want to see platforms take genuine accountability for their actions, creating secure spaces where young people can safely find the connection and support they deserve.”
Ultimately, it is the current systems that are harming children. At Buttle, we will continue to step in with financial support and grants to help children access the digital world and re-engage with education. Last year we awarded 2,225 to children and young people across the UK.
How are you feeling about the social media ban for under 16s? Kier Starmer and the government have committed to a ban on children and young people under the age of 16 from social media by Spring 2027.
"Digital poverty remains a critical issue, meaning equitable access to these benefits is not yet a reality for all. Our own research shows that 82% of families in poverty cannot afford a laptop or tablet. Ultimately, it is the current systems that are harming children. "
"The children we support at Buttle are experiencing crisis and hardship, for them online spaces offer connection, joy, and essential support for learning and education."
🏰 After fleeing domestic abuse, three siblings were feeling isolated in a new area. Their Buttle grant funded a medieval dress-up adventure, giving them the chance to make happy memories together. Sometimes, the right support is as unique as the children receiving it. 💙
