Causes

The Hockley Hustle originally came to fruition as a Oxjam event. We continue to support this fantastic initiative as well as local Nottingham NSPCC Projects:

Oxjam
Oxjam is Oxfam's month-long music festival. Each year hundreds of music-lovers get involved, all across the UK, to raise money for Oxfam by holding their own events. The Hockley Hustle is proud to be one of the biggest events in the Midlands under this umbrella. A great testament to the music scene and music loving people of Nottinghamshire!

Local NSPCC Projects
NSPCC YOUNG PERSONS CENTRE
The Home and Away Project works with childen, some as young as 8, and young people, who have been reported as missing from home. There are two good reasons why it is crucial for the NSPCC to support children who run away from home to prevent them from facing further abuse and the dangers of living on the street.

Some children run away to escape from years of emotional, physical or sexual abuse. Other children may run away because their family relationship has broken down. Children are then vulnerable - they are offered support from adults who they think they can 'trust'. The risks that children can face are significant - sexual exploitation, physical harm, involvement in drugs.

NSPCC offers help and support to the child or young person and can also offer support for the whole family. Working with children who run away for the first time means we have a much better chance of preventing repeat runaways and future significant harm.

NSPCC HELPLINES
The hardest thing for a child or adult to do is to summon the courage to speak out against an abuser. It is a tragedy when they do speak out and there is no-one to answer. The NSPCC Helpline (0808 800 5000) can provide a vital lifeline for worried adults who are concerned about an abused child and ChildLine (0800 1111) is there for young people who have no-one else to turn to.

NSPCC relies on voluntary funding for 85% of its income, to provide vital services to children and young people.
