Update from SME member YPO - Three-year YPO and NSPCC partnership takes safer childhoods message on the road

Update from SME member YPO - Three-year YPO and NSPCC partnership takes safer childhoods message on the road

30 APRIL 2025

To celebrate the renewal of a tie-up that has already raised a six-figure sum for the charity, four YPO delivery vans will feature special livery that includes a YPO-NSPCC joint logo with the message: “Creating Safer Childhoods”.

The vans also spread the word about how people can contact the charity’s Childline by calling 0800 1111. A larger-than-life illustration of two children against a background of YPO’s market-leading glue sticks bears the message, “This is more than just a glue stick …” as part of a wider campaign that supports education, raises awareness about the children’s charity’s Childline service, and supports the NSPCC through sales of the YPO product range.
