For what matters in childhood.
We deliver tailored grants for the things that mean the world to young people in the UK, there for them at a time when they need things most.
A bit about Buttle.
Buttle is a children’s charity that provides the things important to young people, so poverty never defines a young person’s future. If it’s important to a child, it’s important to us.
Whatever the items or activities important to childhood, we’re here for that.
So children and young people across the UK can play, learn, be confident and shape their own futures. Because if it’s important to childhood, it’s important to us.
Buttle provides access to what matters in childhood, so children can shape their own stories.

Our vision is to deliver what’s important in childhood.
Buttle gives tailored grants for the things important to children and young people, so their lives are no longer defined by poverty. The impact of our grants helps children reshape their futures by improving their education, wellbeing and home environment.

of parents have told us that their children’s engagement with education has improved since receiving their grant.

Our Impact in 24-25
18 August 2025
With 4.5 million children in poverty, the need for support for children and young people experiencing poverty and crisis is as crucial as it has ever been. In this challenging context, Buttle UK has awarded more grants, to higher total value than ever before.
Without our valued donations, we couldn’t deliver what matters in childhood.
Every donation counts, no matter the size.
