About us

52 Lives helps to change someone's life every week of the year. 

Each week, we choose someone in need of help. We share their story on our website and social media and request what they need. Then our network of almost 100,000 kind people get to work...they spread the word, offer help if they can, and help to change that person's life - and inspire millions more who read about our stories of kindness.

One of the things that makes 52 Lives unique is that 100% of what people give goes to the person we are helping each week. Not a penny goes to 52 Lives. 

We have helped with a huge variety of things over the years...we've paid for life-saving operations, built sensory gardens for people who have lost their sight, provided support to children being bullied, bought wheelchairs and essential medical equipment, supplied furniture for families in need...we even arranged for a terminally ill lady to serenaded by her favourite singer...Mr Michael Ball.  

All of this is only possible because of the kindness of people like you.
