They have helped many children including Dheeraj( shown above)  an 8 year old  child from India who after being diagnosed with HIV was forced to wonder the streets alone after being thrown out by his Aunt. Arms around the child now provide a safe home so that he can slowly get better. They raise the fund purely through campaign events such as The other ball this is a large event that happens every year gathering big names in the music industry such as Lily Allen and Florence Welsh. It helps to raise awareness for the charity and honours the many that have helped make the world that little bit better. On the lead up to The other ball they often auction many experience like at the moment there is a site that allows you to bid/donate so that you will receive a private session with Florence Welsh herself and all the proceeds will go to help this wonderful organisation.

They also often help provide awareness for other events such as the mini festival being held in memory of Sam Harper Brighouse by Pixelated people. This is being held to commemorate the love for music that Sam had there will also be a marathon that is raising fund for AATC overall helping to raise funds while supporting something brilliant.

They have a number of new campaign posters that were recently created earlier this year when the website we newly finished these posters show you the people they have helped and the hard issues they are combating.

These posters show the harsh statistics that are reality as one of the poster states 30 million children are sexual abused in conflicted areas if this charity is able to help it will lower this number placing these innocent out of the way helping them grow in life. This can all be changed if there are more and more charities like arms around the charity willing to help.

This just goes to prove how important charities such as Arm around the child are as everyday they are potentially saving peoples lives. They have rescued hundreds of children and are still going today giving them lives that the kids properly never thought possible. They have assisted important campaigns and have brought attention to the many problems a young child can face in a world full of poverty. They strive to help as many children as possible although they can't help them all they can try there upmost to help the ones that they can assist. They help with a diverse amount of problems from education to health issues. By helping all of these issues they are helping people grow in the lives that they were supposed to have.
