| Assistance and support given to children by the organisation: |
|
|
| BRIS is a Swedish NGO with no party political or religious affiliations that supports children in distress and is a link between children, adults and the community. All support services build on volunteer work and financial support, primarily from corporate cooperation and private persons, and to a small extent governmental grants.
The goal of BRIS? support services is to strengthen the rights of children and young people and improve their living conditions, which is done with the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child as a guide. BRIS shall support vulnerable children and young people in particular, and provide opportunities for children and young people to conduct a dialogue with adults.
The core of the support services is the Children?s Helpline and the BRIS-mail, which children and young people from around the country can use up to age 18 to safely, anonymously and free of charge call and email adults at BRIS.
