Supporting children in need
GivingTales is committed to keeping children safe around the world, and that’s why we support charity organisations that focus on the well-being of children, including Unicef, Shooting Star Chase, Children's Hospice Care and Amade.
Unicef ensures more of the world’s children are fed, vaccinated, educated and protected than any other organisation. They work in over 190 countries around the world and have done more to influence laws, policies and customs to help protect children than anyone else in history.
Today, by supporting Unicef, you can protect a child, transform their life and build a safer world for tomorrow’s children.
Unicef does not endorse any brand or products. GivingTales aims to support local charity organisations in various markets.
“[The Nightingale is] beautiful. It has a great moral to it, how all of us work best under freedom. “
– Michael Ball
“The stories that we hear in our childhood can be really powerful. They form our believes, they shape our character, our destiny, they’re like software for the mind. “
– Paul McKenna
“All the major things that we go through in life are all in these stories. But they are represented in a way that you can get close to them, and you can think about them as a child. “
– Charlotte Rampling
“Few things can compete with the joy of getting stuck into a good book, and I believe that is something no child should miss out on.“
– David Walliams
“Over our time on earth the best thing we can do ever is something for somebody else. And if this somebody else happens to be children, even better than that.“
– Joanna Lumley
“I think it's terribly important that not only the children be told stories, but they should start to read stories. Reading is the most important thing.“
– Sir Michael Caine
“My favourite of them all is The Emperor's New Clothes.“
– Dame Joan Collins
“Even though The Little Match Girl is a very sad story - there is something optimistic, warm and beautiful about it.“
– Ewan McGregor
“The Ugly Duckling is the primal story about bullying and self belief - it’s a marvellous tale.“
– Stephen Fry
“It is a wonderful collection of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy stories for children and adults alike. “
– Sir Roger Moore
