A. Childline is a counselling service for children and young people up to their 19th birthday in the United Kingdom provided by the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC). The main aim of the organisation is to help children to cope with any issues which cause distress or concern. Some of the most common issues include child abuse, bullying, mental illness, parental separation or divorce, teenage pregnancy, neglect, and psychological abuse.

B.Similar children's helplines have been formed in a number of countries. As of May 2013, these included ChildLine Botswana, ChildLine India, ChildLine Ireland (Leanbh), ChildLine South Africa, National Child Protection Authority of Sri Lanka, Child Helpline Tanzania as well as organisations in Namibia, Trinidad and Tobago, Gibraltar, Kenya, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. Some of these are independent charities; others have been set up by existing children's charities or more general helplines.

C.ChildLine raises funds through several channels, including direct donations through the NSPCC, partnerships, events such as "The X Factor ChildLine Ball" and through third-party fundraising organisations such as "Justgiving".
